H&R Block snuck language into a Senate bill to make taxes more confusing for poor people - Vox:
Several years ago, Indiana's state government website had a nice tax app that anyone could use to file their state taxes. It was free, worked well, easy to use, remembered your data from year to year. All on the web provided free to the user by the state.
Then, one day, it was gone. In its place was a link to several for-profit tax software providers. These services were still free for low income filers but at higher incomes, around joint $55,000, you had to buy it.
I imagine someone, HR Block or Intuit, made a big contribution to the State Republican party or Mitch Daniels. Fucking capitalists.
