"The best results I've gotten in getting people to understand is to run the actual numbers both ways and showing the difference between them"

And with tax software, it should be super easy to do this. I did this decades ago, with pencil and calculator,lol. Some people really, really don't want to think. Same with listening to advertising pitches to make an "informed" decision. Imo, advertising needs to show proof that their fantastical claims are true. I don't need that, I'm skeptical of everything being pitched. But a lot of Americans really want to buy into bullshit.
