    Turbo tax made 1.6 BILLION in income. And that’s not enough. They need to lobby and change the landscape of the countries tax system to generate even more profit on top of the profit they already made.

    This isn’t capitalism anymore this is something else entirely. It’s a metal disorder. A disease.

      That’s the thing, it is capitalism. It’s always been about those who have more exploiting those who have less.

      The problem is this generation of workers has been duped into believing that corporate profits are a good thing, rather than an indication of workers getting taken advantage of.

      It’s all bass-ackwards by design. I stopped trying to find rhyme or reason and just settled on “most people are dumb as shit.”
