First step - eliminate the EIC.
First step - eliminate the IRS
Second step - eliminate the Income Tax
The EITC is being widely abused by fraudsters. People work only enough to get it on the books and then work under the table for more. Plus you have just some purely fraudulent returns.
EITC. Earned Income Tax Credit. Not just a deduction but an honest to God CREDIT that pretends they actually paid the taxes in the first place. It is the biggest case of wealth redistribution in this country. Max is upwards of about $5-$6K PER YEAR!.....
Get this. There is even an Advance EITC Payments option. The slime can force their employer to credit a proportional amount of that EITC booty back to them each payday. It is the employers’ responsibility to foot the cost of the expense until they can file their own taxes and finally get a true credit for the government’s treachery against us.
Better yet, prohibit illegal aliens from getting it.
