Yes, it's a big issue. It's fascinating how little it's talked about. I think this requires that we organize grassroots visibility into this. Also, wouldn't YC have some mechanisms to organize? I mean, I think this impacts every tech business other than unicorns.
I have also been surprised since I found out at the lack of discussion. Based on this post, it seems like many people didn't know. I assume a lot more are going to find out as we get closer to actually filing taxes.
What I've heard is that there's already strong support for changing this but it's just a matter of Congress actually being functional, which political affiliation aside, it's not right now.
This is also the first I've seen this discussed in a tech setting.
I'm glad it made it to the HN front page, but I'd like the desired change to make it into a bill to be passed by Congress before we all pay our 2022 taxes on April 15.
What groups out there are fighting this?
