> If you want something to be inefficient, have the government do it

Would you rather have a system that’s inefficiently built by a government or one efficiently built by a private company that illegally extracts fees from users, as the FTC alleges Intuit has done? What’s the point of being obsessed with “efficiency” when the company screws end users anyway?

That is a false dilemma, I know this will shock you, but it is possible to have private companies that do not illegally extract fees from users, and at the same time not have government created software....

I support the FTC's actions to go after intuit, but I have filled my taxes every year for many decades and not used Turbo Tax.
