There are a lot of things that remind me that the government doesn't work for the people, and tax time is just another one of those times.

Getting taxes automated is a solved problem. There is only one reason this status quo persisted for so many years. it's just to bad that we must bend the knee before the real americans, Intuit's lobbyists.

I'm glad the IRS is showing signs of wriggling free of such influence, but it is unfortunately to late a fix for yet another unforgiveable position for me.

The US government has shown me its priorities again and again throughout my life, and it's not the people. There is no rehabilitating this image in my eyes.

Hopefully I can be proven wrong, and the next generation can grow up far less cynical of our elected representatives.
