I used to boycott TurboTax because of this. But then I realized that Intuit is just playing the game. Why wouldn't they do everything they can to sustain their business (well, a sense of moral decency, I guess, but that's a big ask)?
The real root of the problem is of course our broken political process.
- kennywinker 12y agoBoycotting TurboTax is in your OWN best interests, is it not?
- betterunix 12y agoThat depends on how good you are at filing your tax returns. Intuit is lobbying for a complex tax code because that reduces the likelihood that you can actually do your taxes on your own without losing lots of money or getting in trouble with the IRS.
- kennywinker 12y agoI guess it's a matter of balancing your short term interests against your long-term interests, and the likelihood of a boycott succeeding.
- MartinCron 12y agoMoral decency is not a big ask. It should be the expected default behavior.
- deciplex 12y agoThe real root of the problem is people giving up on expectations of basic decency and moral conduct 'because capitalism'.
- vbuterin 12y agoAnd out broken political process remains because of everyone in the government doing everything they can to sustain their own livelihood. Reality is a result of human action; to change reality you pretty much have to convince people to act differently in some fashion.
