WooHoo TAXES BACK!

[twosaturns]

not against paying taxes, just against the goverment giving money to people who don't want to work as in earned income credit. i know a guy who is getting 10 grand. will not get a better job, because he will lose money from the gov. on the refund.
this is the part that I hate

yes, the system is so asinine, because for some, getting a raise results in LESS income when they enter a higher tax bracket. for instance, a single parent, to get a higher paying job, perhaps would then need to pay for child care, resulting in a net loss of income.
there are also quite a few 'working poor' families in this country, hard working men and women doing all they can w/ the jobs that they have, but may still qualify for benefits and have zero tax liability. should we hate them because the law as it is allows this?
there are no easy answers, only many complicated situations.
