People loved those things, but I imagine some folks got very jammed up with them, if the expected refund did not actually materialize.
Wealth distribution: ugly at both ends.
Myself, I don’t call an EITC check, credit or deposit a REFUND in any shape form or fashion.
The very name, Earned Income Tax Credit, is a vile contortion of honesty, and it is nothing but income redistribution, period.
These people didn’t EARN sh!t to get any refund from.
