Intuit is a bunch of vampires stealing money from Americans. Every developed country in the world has a relatively easy tax system for citizens, but only the US operates in this insane way where they willingly tax citizens by not providing them with an easy way to do taxes, and instead sends them to the wolves of Intuit and others.

Fundamentally if you just pay your taxes, you shouldn't be audited (ideally.) That being said... an increase in auditors is net good because then the IRS can actually audit some of the massive number of tax crimes that occur. This is good.

The thing is that's not designed to get the most amount of dollars - which is pretty moronic. This is just measuring the wrong thing. We should do the least work to get the most dollars.

The literal point of taxes is to to take that money and use it to provide services to the citizenry. So yeah... they did their job.

We had a class action lawsuit before and what did it get:

1) hundreds of millions for corporate lawyers 2) almost nothing for everyone else

Without functional market dynamics (ie actual competition), the class actual lawsuit doesn't actually influence Experience etc to do anything because they will always own the market, so they can continue to fuck people forever.

this change effects literally zero people who aren't millionaires many times over. The change effects high net worth individuals who are trying to game the system and not pay taxes. This is not even complicated.
