Articles published around the country repeat Intuit’s assertion — sometimes almost word for word — that the upcoming IRS pilot program would hurt Black Americans. A researcher whose work is cited by Intuit says the company is misstating her findings.
Man, I hope I live to see the day that these greedy bastards lose a huge chunk of their business to free filing via the IRS. They’ve been fighting to keep tax paying citizens from getting what they want from their government for years. It’s gross.
I want to see this free filing happen both for the good it’ll do and because I want to see Intuit’s stock plummet. Fuck Intuit.
“It’S gOiNg tO HuRt bLaCk pEoPle” fuck off you dirty liars.
Between Intuit and some of these money transfer applications (venmo, cashapp etc) they are pivoting hard to diversify and lobbying hard with the government looking to finally come more into the 21st century. Free tax filing and fednow could be very good for the everyday person.
Yeah that’s probably one of the bolder bad faith arguments I’ve ever seen. It is transparently BS. I don’t think Intuit has heard of the Evil Overlord List. Clearly they forgot to have a 5-year-old child on their payroll to double check all their evil plans.
Where was that 5-year-old at Unity? Didn’t he tell them about how he went to the different bathroom when his bullies started charging him 5 cents every time he had to pee?
Excuse me gif.exe
It was a common bullying scheme back in the day, patrol bathrooms and have people pay you to get out of getting your ass beat.
I was comparing Unity’s “20 cents an install” to this.
😦
sigh Please do not patrol bathrooms with expectations of extorting the patrons, it won’t end well for anyone.
They pulled the black card. You can’t argue against that.
Why do u hate black people, bigot?
Either you might want to add an /s or realize my post has a /s.
i feel like adding /s loses the /s effect
considering you were doing /s with out putting /s… i feel attacked.
This all started when Trump got elected. The stupid people got emboldened and are openly speaking and now you can’t tell when someone is being sarcastic because we now know there are honestly people out there who would say the same thing, but seriously.
I wasn’t myself quite sure you got the sarcasm but think others were less sure. All good.
no no, black people. people in the net positive, red people, people in debt. that’s what they meant, surely, absolutely, undoubtedly. 🙄😏
Intuit actually makes some really good products. I’d like to see pre-prepared returns from the irs also, with the option to update/amend at the taxpayer’s discretion if necessary. That way Intuit could focus on their higher level products for bigger more sophisticated taxpayers that truly do need excellent software.
One can make really good products and still be such unmitigated removed that they should lose that business altogether.
They’ve spent insane amounts of money lobbying the government to keep poor AF people easily able to be tricked into paying for their tax return all while advertising a hard to find free service. Paying people we pay for with our tax dollars so that more of our hard earned cash can flow into their pockets. And if they spent insane amounts to keep it that way you know full well they’re making that amount back and then some. Off of us.
They’re evil. No offense to you, but fuck their really good products.
What do you propose then, corporate execution and then toss their products in the garbage?
Yep, sure. I’m okay with that. It makes more sense that someone else buys the company than to throw it in the trash, but regardless I don’t see how “they make good products” is an excuse for the manipulation of our government on the scale they’ve engaged in.
If more corporations faced the death penalty for the shit they pull they’d be way less likely to pull it. (To be clear I’m referring to the company being sold and/or the leaders going to jail, depending on the offense, not literally executing the heads of corporations)
I don’t disagree but I’m confused where you think I said good software excuses lobbying against pre-prepared returns. I’m fairly certain I said the opposite.
To me this is how our conversation thread goes:
Me: I hope they crash and burn
You: They actually make good products, I hope this tax stuff goes away so they can focus on their good products
Me: Nah, fuck them, I hope they crash and burn for what they’ve done
You: And throw their good products in the trash?
That to me sounds like you think their good products should save them from the Find Out portion of Fucking Around. Please correct me if I misunderstood you, but that’s how the conversation reads to me.
man I don’t want to fight about this, everyone is so fucking aggressive here and I’m sick of it.
I’m sorry my reply came off as aggressive, I truly wasn’t trying to be. These times are incredibly frustrating, we just want good products from good companies that don’t do fucked up shit, and that seems to be too much to ask for ?? It sucks.
But I have no problem with you personally, we’re all trapped in this stupid system together. Be well, my dude. I’m sorry my reply caused you stress, it wasn’t my intention.
Edit: I see that you have downvotes and want you to know they’re not from me
