No one should pay any income tax as far as I’m concerned.
The working poor also have to be considered. They aren’t exactly freeloaders. If someone makes $30,000 a year they aren’t going to pay much in income taxes and if they have dependents, they likely aren’t paying any. However nobody gets out from under social security.
However, why is a person who agreed to make 30,000 dollars a year for a family of four ending up making 34,000 dollars a year after their refund? That EIC MUST GO. That is the worst thing on Earth and totally ridiculous. Pay zero is not great but giving somone elses money to them is dreadful.
