I wish more people would blame the government officials for being so susceptible to lobbying and refusing to enact policies to curtail the behavior rather than be angry at individual companies for lobbying. As the old saying goes, don't hate the player, hate the game. Intuit is just operating in the best interest of their stockholders and employees. It isn't their job to operate in the best interest of society. That is the government's job. This situation is a governmental failure not any problem with Intuit specifically and it happens in plenty of other areas besides tax reporting.

They are players in this game too. They could "lobby" Congress to change the laws to allow them not to be shitty. But they won't. Part of stopping the game is shitting on ANYONE who wants to play that wah

  >They could "lobby" Congress to change the laws to allow them not to be shitty. You are expecting a publicly traded company to lobby the government on behalf of a change that will negatively impact the company's financial viability? That seems disconnected from reality.
