Great. Another several hundred pages to the legal code, another several hundred pages of regulations that all but 3 people will have the time to read and understand. No thank you. This country already has too many laws and regulations. We don't need more. How about leaving the free market alone?

Intuit aggressively lobbies to keep the IRS from doing tax reforms. Who's actually messing with the free market here?

>How about leaving the free market alone? Intuit has been aggressively anti-consumer and this particular instance is no different. They exist to benefit themselves at the expense of the average joe. Until the free market stops operating in said fashion, your question will continuously earn a resounding, "Nah," from me. Edit: I am particularly perplexed by this post, given that OP recently suggested governments start "selling, if not mandating, its own operating system software to consumers and businesses alike" because they felt like consistent OS churn resulted in too much unnecessary e-waste. I don't disagree with the concern about e-waste, but I'm having trouble squaring away the dueling perspectives here.

> How about leaving the free market alone? Well, if the free market worked, Equifax would have been sued into oblivion right now and no other company would be stupid enough to try BS like this. But the free market doesn't work, so you need to protect yourself. The only way we can protect ourselves from greedy corporations is through onerous regulations with teeth.

The free market is me emailing my representative and asking them to change this.

Nope. I am in the free market too and my "best alternative to negotiated agreement" (BATNA) is dog droppings, ergo I have a vested interest to level the freedom of the playing field.

If you don't like democracy in action, I suggest you move to Somalia.
