A House Democrat is calling on the IRS to require refunds for all taxpayers who paid for tax filing services even though they were eligible for free programs, after companies like TurboTax, and H&R Block used code on their websites to stop Google and other search engines from displaying pages about free tax filing programs.

Dem lawmaker: IRS should consider refunds for taxpayers eligible for free filing
Porter's request comes as lawmakers consider legislation that would codify the existing "Free File" program, which the IRS established with the tax preparation industry to offer free tax services to people below a certain income threshold. Taxpayers making less than $66,000 a year can access the fre...




Bold moves like this could swing the next election in favor of the Dems!

So Bernie is just there to sign into law the bills Liz sends him? What a waste of a Presidency. Seems to me like the best candidate would be the one who has actually shown the aptitude and desire to wield the full array of tools at the hands of the President, as opposed to the one who would, what, just holds rallies and auto-signs the bills placed in front of him by smarter progressives? The optimal question here is what can Bernie do as President that he can't do as Senator? Same question for Liz. She's shown us a robust and varied list of areas she wants to attack that needs the latitude of the Presidency, and she's shown us that she understands the ins-and-outs of the executive branch. I trust her far more to be an effective operator of it than I do Bernie, who is comparatively a one-trick pony whose trick isn't even super relevant right now given Congressional gridlock and obfuscation.

This is going to sound harsher than I intend, but he's really just dumber than Liz. He's a good man and has a good heart, and what he did in 2016 is god-tier, but I don't trust him to have the intelligence or experience to wield the powers of the Presidency in a maximally effective manner at this moment in history. And yes, as Obama showed us, the Presidency is often just as much about who you surround yourself with. Liz's campaign is showing us that she surrounds herself with smart, effective progressives who craft truly transformative policies, while Bernie surrounds himself with David Sirota and Briahna Joy Gray. Matt Duss was a solid pickup, but he's practically the only heavy hitter on his team. The best outcome would be him staying in the Senate to cut progressive promos and rally the base while Liz takes the mantle of the Presidency and actually uses its tools to enact change at that level. That's his skill and that's her skill.

This is a good retort

I still want to see her foreign policy. We're starting to get a sense of bernies foreign policy...and maybe its my ignorance but i havent heard her talk about it once

People are starting to understand that shes a domestic policy master but with a republican senate the most power she would arguably have is as commander in chief
