| The Right To The Best Available Deal: To have all applicable financial / tax regulations applied to you automatically. This way you don't have to discover tax breaks/credits/deductions — they just get applied to you. This is important and effects something like 250M Americans. Outside of criminal and civil law, much of the US system of government is enforced financially through the tax code. The benefits of the Internal Revenue Code are applied unevenly because richer people are able to develop the sophistication or acquire service providers who help them make sure they are getting the best available deal. Can you imagine if hackers/coders got better deals on products Amazon then non-coders? It would be absurd to say "well, learn to code or higher an engineer and you'll save $1000 a year!" That's a pretty close metaphor—we say "get financially literate! The information is out there! get an accountant!". Computers, tech, machine learning, and AI are great at making sure all Americans get The Best Deal Available. |
