Having filed my 2025 income taxes last night, I want to praise the California Franchise Tax Board for having a super-simple, free online program for filing your taxes. This is the second year I've used it, and it works great.

Edit: But not everyone qualifies to use this program. If you have capital gains or losses or Health Savings Account (HSA) deductions or distributions you can't use this program, and there are other exclusions, too.

From @joannechocolat

Elizabeth J. Magie Phillips (1866-1948) was an American game designer, #inventor, feminist, and writer. She invented The Landlord's Game, the direct precursor to #Monopoly, although she was never credited for this during her lifetime.

. .. ...

Personal note: she said “the object of the game is not only to afford amusement to the players, but to illustrate to them how under the present or prevailing system of land tenure, the landlord has an advantage over other enterprises and also how the single tax would discourage land speculation.”

She was a proponent of #Georgism, a single tax movement widely popularized by charismatic politician Henry George through his first book, Progress and Poverty - an economic ideology that government should be funded by a tax on land rent (wealthy landlords) & not by taxes on labour.

He might have been on to something! 🧐 Can we have this now? Please? 🙏
