The poor pay no taxes, but get a lot of benefits. If they work at all, they also get the Earned Income Tax Credit - often thousands of dollars and one of the largest frauds in tax law. IIRC, over 25% of the EITC handouts are fraudulent.

Thanks, Mr. Rogers. I think that there are many Americans who are sadly unaware of those facts.
