She didn't. Ironically enough, Stupid Conservatives, by trying to rein in the Earned Income Tax Credit, made it easier for people to go on welfare, get food stamps and government assistance. The idea is you want to make sure people don't have an incentive to work? Yeah - squeezing down on the working poor earned the GOP a lot of credit. Dumb move and a victory for IRS bureaucrats.

The earned income tax credit for the most part rewards idiots for making idiotic decisions and it should be abolished. My parents said in the 60s, a family filled out their taxes on a form the size of a postcard and we need to return to that again, if we have to have an income tax at all.
