I hope the EIC tax credit goes away

For people who don't pay taxes! I'm sick of paying so much in taxes and getting crap back, yet lazy people who live off welfare get money! You shouldn't get more then you pay, how is that a REFUND? A refund would imply you paid into it. I hate seeing people bragging on here about getting $10k tax "refunds" when they pay zero into it, that's bs and why our country is in debt.

I agree! No one should be receiving more than they paid in.

I agree with your post, assuming your facts are correct. I have to admit I know nothing about the EIC. Who gets it? How much is it?

I agree, but the poor always reap the benefits of making poor life choices.

Dh and I got it the first couple years we had dd, It was such a HUGE help for us. We haven't qualified for it for at least 5 years and now we are part of the top 5% of taxpayers in this country. I have no issues with it. I'd rather see my tax dollars spent on helping people than a lot of other things they're spent on.
