uh, no. its because we've decided that these adults should be treated like children and not pay the 33% everyone else pays. oh wait, only our best pay that much.
we have a sliding idiot scale where the less able you are, the less you have to pay.
sadly, we've allowed much of our adult population to pass as grown children who can't pay their way.
the earned income tax credit is a gift from the government.
when you give the government $1000.00 and the government gives you $1500, you did not EARN any tax credit nor did you pay taxes so don't go patting yourself on the back when you check box that credit
