The institutions have failed us.
The United States' government has failed to address the pressing issue of equality since its conception, and now, hundreds of thousands of families are getting hurt by it.
The Private Revolution:
If public aid isn't available, it's up to the people to make change. Futr is a step in this change: bringing equality to immigrants via our novel tax tool, and making the change our government can't.
Yes, really.
If only 25% of Americans know how to file, how can we expect immigrants to file just as well? We can't.
When 3.3 million immigrants (and counting) enter America every year, the issue becomes increasingly prominent: immigrants need help with their finances. That's why Futr was made.
