TurboTax (Intuit) and H&R Block have lobbied for years to stop this from happening.

Workers need to remember this
Funny, how they only pull this shit with the minimum wage workers. You get a high-salaried job and they give you more branded stuff than you can possibly use.
By the way: If you patronize fast food drive-thrus (and I do), you’ll notice there’s always some campaign to have you donate your spare change to a company “foundation.” Whenever they ask, I tell them no: “It means your owners get a tax deduction with MY money. No way.”
If you're going to make your employees wear branded jackets, don't make them pay for it. 👎
Fast food workers need unions too. pic.twitter.com/vJGSRVhJi7

And one of the prime movers was a company headed by a Republican Senate candidate!
Well, well, well, remember the overpriced eggs 🥚🥚everyone was in an uproar about last year? Some people blamed Biden, too. It was PRICE FIXING! Egg producers at two large companies & their industry groups gouged consumers. It was greed, not inflation. #Greedflation🥚🍳💰 https://t.co/sqYYgUiAmf

Management doesn’t care
NEW: Railroad workers are afraid to report safety hazards, and that's apparently how the rail companies want it. Great reporting from @ReporterTopher and @Lussenpop of @propublica. https://t.co/c2RpqMXUv6

Union
71% of Americans approve of unions. So why do nearly all Republican lawmakers in Congress oppose proposals that would make it easier to unionize?
It’s simple: they’re terrified.
Nothing scares the GOP more than working people recognizing their collective power. pic.twitter.com/BD4kqM0oCC

Donor dogs
During the Republican debate last night, the candidates running to be Trump's VP indicted their willingness to cut Social Security.
It has nothing to do with cutting the deficit.

If these CEOs say their companies can't survive the future without the right to…[checks notes]…DIGITALLY REANIMATE THE CORPSES OF THEIR DEAD EMPLOYEES, well, uh, I guess I just don't think those people should be allowed to run a bake sale, let alone a billion dollar industry. https://t.co/u0c3foQa7h

Yep
Having watched an old friend suffer through the hell that is the private equity nursing home, I believe. I know her experience was torturous:
“Private-equity investment in nursing homes has grown from about $5 billion at the turn of the century to more than $100 billion today. The results have not been pretty.”
