We need to be saved from the predatory Tax Filing Software scam and Tax Accountant mafia.

There are arguments that it won't do a good job as some private software maker. I disagree. You can rest assured that when it comes to death and taxes, you'll find the government systems far more superior and efficient to anything a private business can muster 😀 So if they can even manage bare minimum to allow filing taxes and save us from scams, I'm all in!

Some say it's because of lobbying by Big Tax Software. Yes, In Canada we underestimate the lobbying. (Just look at the tax software debate in the U.S. and their very vocal opposition to this predatory scam, but here we hardly hear a peep.)

Why isn't there much debate about that?
