This already happens in the US, your employer sends a W-2 to the government reporting exactly how much taxes they've paid on your behalf. Your bank does something similar.
AND THEN everyone is required to fill out a form reporting how much they've earned, as if the government didn't already know, just so Intuit can make more money. Yaaaay, capitalism!

- Kye 6y agoIt might be a meaningless philosophical point, but I don't see how a company that only exists to serve people on behalf of a government with policies bought by industry lobbyists can be considered capitalist. It isn't even socialism because it seems to be permanent, not transitory.
- alkonaut 6y ago"Capitalism" doesn't mean corporations make the laws. Tons of capitalist countries have very easy tax processes. Not sure what the word for a system where corporations gain political influence through lobbying, but I don't think that's what "capitalism" is.
