      The words came from the dick. It’s just that technically the words did come out of his mouth.

    We’re at the point in wealth concentration where you can just look at someone and tell when they think poor people should be slaves. He looks like the Monopoly Man.

    At this point GOOD. If all of the voters who benefitted from this had:

    1. Shown up, AND
    2. Voted correctly

    The rest of us wouldn’t be stuck with this. Let ‘em learn the hard way.

      Crabs in a pot man, crabs in a pot.

      “Boo hoo I didn’t get what I want so now I want everyone else to suffer too”. That kind of bitterness is a shitty, toxic trait. Acting like that makes it really easy to split the Left because I know I sure as hell don’t want to agree with anything you say.

          It’s spelled “kumbaya” dumbass.

          And what are you doing other than alienating everyone you talk to? You’d do a better job advocating for the other side tbh. Most people will see your shittiness and switch sides just to not be associated with you. Have you considered becoming Republican? You might single handedly destroy the party with your toxicity.

          But let’s hear it tough guy. What are you doing besides ranting on social media? Imma go out on a limb and guess from your user name that you were an edgy teenager and now you’re a burnt out 30 something? Sad that your life choices didn’t work out so well and now you’re bitter and take it out on others?

          You’re a pussy who thinks he’s tough behind a keyboard but you’re just a bitch.

            At this point I don’t care if pussy boy “liberals” like yourself are turned off. I’m betting you jumped on that whole “they go low, we go high” bullshit that landed us here. I’ve advocated fight fire with fire for YEARS, but fucking morons like you were too FUCKING STUPID to see this coming and are STILL miles behind the 8-ball on how to fix this. So go circle jerk your other keyboard warrior friends and FUCK OFF until you’re ready to do something that ACTUALLY helps as opposed to your little participation marches that aren’t doing shit.

            Oh and keep telling your fucking idiot friends who stayed home that it’s not their fault and everything will be just fine. Because you’re clearly right on that.

      You fail to understand how many people didn’t get a vote out because of voter suppression tactics like voter ID laws, making voting only available in person, limiting drop box locations, limiting voting dates, arresting people for handing out water in long voting lines, etc.

      By making voting harder, Republicunts win.
      Making it easier lets Democrats and progressives win.

      Making it harder also lends credence to the “my vote doesn’t count anyway” mentality.

        We can either continue to slowly tug at the band-aid for the next 10-20 years or rip it off now and be done with it. I choose the latter.

      It’s too bad the motherfuckers that wanted this shit and the people that sat at home or did a protest vote because the Democrats didn’t give them a pretty, pretty pony were the only ones that had to live with their stupid and selfish choices.

    Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.

          I believe it’s $15 for state filing but free otherwise. Even this free IRS program would have you file state taxes separately.

          I used CreditKarma the entire time they offered their program and tried CashApp after they bought it from CK. I believe it’s still completely free but the process is annoying as you have to at least partially use the CashApp app on your phone to log in.

          Federal is free, state is reasonably cheap.

          One thing I didn’t mention, TurboTax has forgotten our historical tax information twice. That’s when we finally kicked them to the curb. Freetaxusa has been solid and quicker to use. Plus a few Intuit. Oh and ban lobbying already.

            OVER HALF the States have the software already installed to be able to provide FREE state filing DIRECTLY on their websites…but can’t because they’re trapped in a contract with Intuit/The “Free-File” Alliance

        If you’re owed a refund, it’ll be your problem as they fired most of their state and it’ll take 3 months to process

    Seems like a good time to stop paying taxes.

    Wouldn’t that be a cool boycott against this administration? No taxation without representation as they used to say…

      Almost all taxes are collected from the paycheck before you even get your hands on it. The filing is mostly for the tax return on the overpayment. They’ve already thought of it. How you gonna stop paying?

        My 1099 jobs I’m supposed to pay the taxes.

        My W2 jobs, I just set allowances to like 20 so at least the bare minimum is being taken out.

            Yeah… I thought about not paying taxes last April but I don’t want to draw unwanted attention to myself. Did the IRS have a bunch of people let go? Yes. Does that mean that they don’t have enough staff to realize I didn’t pay and come after me? Maybe I don’t want to find out. I’m self employed through my own LLC and I don’t know enough about taxes to do them on my own anymore and I have to pay someone to help me anyway, so the free software wouldn’t have helped much. Last April was the first time I had to do this, prior to that I’d been an employee at a company that withheld taxes.

      I mean, you don’t have your money, you bank does.

      Just change some numbers and “thank you for paying you taxes, a additional 50% tip has been automatically applied”

        Cash it out beforehand then. The bank has no right to keep your money if you want it out.
