The fact that the govt has the balls to tell me to figure out how much I owe them is hysterical. Especially when they supposedly know (at least roughly) how much I should owe

Companies like TurboTax bribe politicians to not pass laws that would require you be told how much you owe

Wow, I’d never heard of this. Was there a specific story or article you read about this or did you mean that loosely

[-] sfbing@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Google for "Intuit lobbying."

It's not literally bribery; it's corporate America at work. Effectively bribery, IMHO.

Lobbying is brain aids I don’t understand what it’s legitimate purpose is

There can be value in lobbying. But this ain't it.

Is there though? I feel like your “businesses” decision to push for laws should be done as an individual citizen like everyone else. Idk again I don’t really see their point personally
