RE: Intuit spins it as if this is in our best interest, but ultimately, they are taking our money...which they are most likely investing with it. 

Yes, total spin that a child could see through whilst playing a game on their phone.

Basically they're just lying and saying it's streamlined, and so that's oh-so-much better, when they know they it's just a money grab.

But I actually don't see how it's more streamlined, exactly. Or how it's better for anyone - except Intuit.
