I think this is going to be a magical thing to watch when these EITC bunnies start getting credits and fines being taken out of their yearly “partay” bonus.
Ima pop me some popcorn and sit back and watch. :0)
They may never understand withholding and confiscation of ACTUAL earnings but as you say they’ve never experienced anything but a one-way flow.
I fully expect that Obama has already sent his minions to the IRS ordering them (by executive whatever) not to tamper with the refunds and EITC money that goes to those who qualify for Medicaid or Obamacare subsidies. He will probably set up some special office as part of the IRS to counsel them on their “healthcare choices” and sign them up for Obamacare.
But if your income does not qualify you for Medicaid or Obamacare supplements, you are out of luck and you can kiss any refund or EITC money good-bye forever.
