Isn't it NICE!

First thing I notice is the minimum wage earner paid $1,225 in Federal income taxes and somehow got a tax credit of $5,020. Obviously that won't happen.

What won't happen? People make money on taxes? I see about 1000 tax returns a year. Total tax liability means nothing. There is profit to be made, presumably made up by those of us with no exemptions whose tax liablity is an actual positive number. You only need to see the line at H & R Block, those getting taxes done as soon as W2 is in hand, so they can get their 4 or 5 grand. I'll be waiting until April 15th, to pay in what my paycheck deductions didn't cover. We ARE the village that raises the children, we just don't all get credit for it, and probably didn't have any hand in the procreation or in the decision-making behind the procreation, or even an orgasm.

May have been off topic but that line caught my eye.
