You are a sheep and you are getting sheared whether you like it or not.

A pox on the IRS. A pox on Congress. A pox on Intuit TurboTax.

America’s tax collection system is an abomination. It is an offense against our constitutional rights, republican government, and common sense itself.

As of 2019, Americans spent 1.7 billion hours and paid $31 billion per year to do their taxes. This is obscene. In a just world, the vast majority of taxpayers should pay zero dollars to do their taxes. The IRS knows how much you owe (by violating your Fourth Amendment rights), and it will punish you for not paying that amount. But the IRS won’t tell you what that amount is.

This is idiotic. I am a resident of Michigan and I own a home here. Twice a year I receive a letter from the city where I live with a tax bill based on their estimation of the value of my property. That letter contains the precise amount I owe. I then drive down to city hall and drop off a check.

Sorta.

If you’re smart enough to work the system, you walk away owing nothing…or get a rebate.

Intuit is shit. Having a real tax guy help you work the system is priceless.
