The entitlement payment goes to the recipient without regard to the amount, if any, he paid in taxes.

Everyone buys at the retail level, if only for necessities. Maybe they cover their allowance, maybe they don't. How are you going to make that a perfect hit? You can't. But in the income tax fraud my money is being handed out like candy. EITC and the ponzi scheme of SS are first two items that come to mind.

Maybe they cover their allowance, maybe they don't.

But the entitlement check goes out regardless.
