Okay stew and DM I'll play your game. But before I answer your question, answer this question: is it "fair" for people who pay ZERO taxes get a refund check from the govt?

LOL. Actually, I'm not playing any game. I said earlier that I don't pretend to know the answers to this or be an expert. I don't think it's wrong to ask a genuine question like this.
The answer to your question seems pretty easy to me with my limited knowledge. No, that doesn't seem fair to me and I cannot even imagine the scenario in which that happens.

It does happen for millions... it is very common. I'll let the Deacon take it from there.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

Sorry Stew, I sometimes get kind of passionate about politics. I don't really believe you're playing a game. That was something a friend of mine used to say when you'd ask him a question, "Hey Michael, where has Joe Schmoe been? I haven't seen him at church in a while." Mike would say, "I'll play your game, where HAS he been?"
The Earned Income Credit portion of the tax code allows for people who pay no taxes to get a refund every year. A lady here in Memphis got arrested recently for gaming the system for herself and her friends so that they were receiving thousands in refund checks that they weren't supposed to be receiving using the EIC.

Earned Income Tax credit but those receiving it are practically earning "poverty" level
