Am I the only person who remembers 2018 “Trump Tariff Relief” program, a $41B bailout paid for by US taxpayers after DT started a trade war by slapping China w/tariffs, but they retaliated by slapping tariffs on US soybean/corn/wheat, so China simply bought from our competitors (Canada & MX)?

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)
Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.
The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.
