How about the ones that pay nothing in, but get a huge (up to $5000) check back from the earned income tax credit? I use to do tax returns during tax season, but got so disgusted I had to quit, with these “poor” people who would come in and get a check back for $5000 when they paid little to nothing in during the year. It’s welfare and wealth redistribution disguised as a tax credit pure and simple. This should be the first thing that is eliminated before any tax increases. Nobody should get back more than they paid in. Period.
