The tax preparation companies that contemptuously broke the law by "sharing" people's private information with Google and Facebook should be shut down. And every dollar of profit they made should be sent to the taxpayers whose privacy they shredded.

Ask your member of Congress why they don't care.

@dangillmor I’m sure there are lawyers who will work very hard to make sure that everyone harmed receives a check for $8.03. Ph, and brings in millions for their law firm for representing said victims.
