I wouldn't even call it political. It's financial, and should be criminal. The people who are elected to represent us are just taking bribes and being paid off

I wouldn't even call it political. It's financial, and should be criminal. The people who are elected to represent us are just taking bribes and being paid off to allow corporations to screw us over.
- Doches 1y agoI wouldn't even say "corporations" because honestly, it's just the one corporation that's keeping the US tax system mired in pointless, manual complexity: Intuit.
- autoexec 1y agoH&R Block also.
- bobthepanda 1y agoThere is also a whole political line of thinking that making taxes easier makes them more palatable, so if you want to “starve the beast” at all costs you actually want tax filing to be as painful as possible.
- autoexec 1y agoAn easy position for people wealthy enough to painlessly have their accountant do their taxes for them. If they really wanted people to struggle with their taxes they should be discouraging or outlawing companies like turbo tax who make taxes easier for the peasant class forcing most people to fill everything out by hand on paper forms.
