I know I promised no more complaining about taxes, but the Democrats ruined that less than 24 hours later by proposing a new tax credit for people claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This new credit would allow $5500 per child (up to 3 times) as a bonus for squirting out more crotch fruit than they can afford.
The credit will enable a woman with two kids to receive $16,000 as a tax refund without working or actually earning a dime.
All she would need to do is claim that she was babysitting and is now self reporting the $18000 she made. This amount would also qualify for Medicaid, WIC, $700 and month in food stamps, section 8 housing, a free cell phone, with the total benefits equal to $3,000 a month. Since her self employment tax would be taken out of her refund, she would earn credits to eventually collect social security as well.
No, better than tax free. This is a net income of $52,000 per year, without working a single hour. In order for a working person to earn that much, they would need to work 40 hours per week at more than $30 per hour.
It’s a farm system for making more little Democrats. In 18 years, you will greatly increase the number of little assholes who will vote for you to keep the money rolling in.

It *is* an election year after all. More road work too.

It is your money. No one has any right to it.

and yet, they take a quarter of every dollar you make.
