What's the difference between a man that makes $75,000 a year with three kids, and one that makes $40,000 a year and three kids? Those three kids should take the same amount of money to raise right?
Why should the lower income get a larger return from the government, when the higher income guy paid more (I assume), and he still has three kids to feed....
Punish him because he makes more money? Isn't that what capitalism is about.

How is it not? If I pay the government $15,000 dollars and get back $500 and I have 3 kids just like you.
You pay the government $5,000 and get back $10,000... What point does that look even remotely fair? I'm sorry some people aren't as fortunate as others. No, I am not rich either. It's just the world we live in, we can't all be the Jones's and have the same things.

And you can bet your left foot, if I am allowed to use the EIC, I am going to. And I am neither an illegal immigrant, or a welfare recipient. And I a scum bag for using it legally?
But the government has successfully convinced you that you are "entitled" to what is not yours.
If you are getting "back your change" ie you paid (for easy math) $100 in federal withhold and your taxes are $50 and you get a $50 refund, then by all means, you do DESERVE YOUR change...
But if you paid $100 in federal withhold, but you are getting $200 refund, then please explain to me how justify that?
Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right/ethical.

What is right and ethical by whose standards? Yours? Why should I be forced to live by your definition of ethics? And I am not trying to justify anything other than pointing out it is being done by ALL races and income levels, not just illegal immigrants or those on welfare already, as has been assumed by several people on this thread.
And at what point did I say I was entitled to anything? All I did was answer a question truthfully. Not my fault what the result of that answer is.Last edited by bowhuntntxn; 01-29-2013, 01:20 PM.
