"EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free is a gov "gimme" program. Proposed by Nixon, signed into law by Ford and increased under every administration since, without exception. Should be repealed but anytime a Republican even suggests slowing its growth, the liberals scream, "Republicans hate the "poor" and Republicans back down.

REFERENCE Watch TV's Judge Judy. She always makes a point to determine a litigant's stability by asking about their incomes and jobs. The look of disgust on JJ's face when these immigrants say they receive a refund for not paying taxes, is priceless.

The Repubs need to push back hard on this- cut the total amount available for EITC in half (or something to that effect), and say no payments to individuals until the IRS can demonstrate that a person truly qualifies for it.
