Why does ANYONE that subsists on Taxpayer Dollars get any BACK in the first place? Never understood that. It’s not like that money is EARNED in any measurable way.

Welcome to the Earned Income Tax Credit. With the right mixture of young children and earnings from minimum wage jobs, the amount the IRS sends you can be much larger than any taxes you actually paid in through withholding. That is all lumped together as "Refund".

Google the phrase "refundable credit" and draw your own conclusions.
