@aral How exactly would you propose to solve this problem? You want to have money, but you also want to work on software "for the common good", who is going to pay for that?

@aral Strange you didn't mention that in your original Toot, but yes, I agree. I really wish the IRS (US tax entity) would fund some tax prep software because shit it complicated as hell. Unfortunately they do the opposite and accept bribes from Intuit to make it intentionally more difficult so Intuit can sell you a "solution". |
@AudraTran Hmm… if only we could crowdfund it somehow… you know, if we all agreed to pay a portion of our earnings so that they could be used for things that benefited us all. We could call it… I don’t know… faxes? No. Taken. Paxes? Nope, doesn’t sound right. Wait, I got it… how about taxes?
