Overheard Magas on the beach yesterday talking about so-called liberals. We won't agree to disagree. We don't have a life, we have an identity. We believe everything we read. It's all propoganda. We want government to pay for everything. Proclaimed loudly for all on the beach to hear.

A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M. Do you see how this works?
