 I remember Intuit, in its early days, as an honorable company run by honorable people. What a dungeon of sleaze it has become. 

Here's the latest from @d4cc8164, which has done by far the best coverage of the company's ethical decline:

 @f8d9bc1c @d4cc8164 Intuit, the company that lobbied hard (read that as donated lots to key politicians) to kill Virginia’s free to use, cheap to maintain, on-line iFile tax system back in 2010 ? https://richmond.com/news/williams-virginia-s-new-tax-filing-system-benefits-vendors-not/article_3a697d77-3722-588a-9af8-74a5114d851e.html They did the same in California. Please cite some honorable behavior of the company or its people. I can cite their sleaze for 14 years

Cory Doctorow's latest Pluralist (and some of his earlier) cover Intuit, and there is also a bunch of stuff on Techdirt
