@ProPublica What pain Black Americans will feel if they aren't allowed to pay to file taxes. Whatever will they do with that extra $70? Imagine the mental anguish of deciding to use it for food, gas, or bills. How dare we put that level of stress on poor, unfortunate Black Americans who want nothing more than to be financially assaulted by a corporation.
