    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

        Google for “Intuit lobbying.”

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

            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
