It's tax season, where the toxicity of the US is summed up in having to figure out what you owe and pay to file with a government that already received reports of all your income and withheld all the money many of us owed. Why? Because doing taxes is an industry.
@fulkery1 All that and more. The worse the process can be made, the more anti-tax the population becomes.
@pwinn @andrew @fulkery1 Blame Intuit, H&R Block etc. They lobby and spend fiercely in DC to protect their grift.
