Wait till Americans hear that Danes don't need to calculate their taxes and pay a fee to file them.
A fee to pay taxes? Why not include it in the taxes at that point? It's just ridiculous.
Similar to that time I went to the local garage, my car needed a new 12v battery. Fine, it got swapped for a new one. On the receipt, it had the costs broken down. The garage had the audacity to include a line for: "Charging battery 20 Euro".
well what did you expect
me with my business: selling uncharged, possibly unchargeable batteries
"dISCOUNT?"
With Americans, the answer is always some private entity mixed in the middle that will make money out of it.
Yeah when they talk about single payer healthcare saving us millions of dollars, those millions of dollars saved are dollars that wouldn't go to the insurance companies and more specifically to the pockets of people who pay lobbyists
But 90% don't even know libraries offer free help filing your taxes yet.
Here in Sweden you generally don't even need help. Naturally there are people with disabilities, or complex financial situations, but that's not most people. For me personally, filing taxes means I log on to the tax office's website, skim through the details to make sure there's no egregious clerical error, and then I click a button to sign off on it. It takes about 5 minutes a year.
If you deal in stocks or buy/sell property a lot it might get a bit more complicated. I think my roomie had deductions because of how much they drives for work, so that added like 5 minutes for supplementary information.
I'm convinced the U.S. makes it complicated for predatory reasons.
libraries have books in them, they are afraid they will catch the woke virus...
