Sky, your photo of the EITC is spot on. Those attending those “$149” tax courses have it drilled in their heads not only EITC but are the “other” family members they are claiming as a deduction truly a deduction. And if you screw up as a tax preparer your on the hook. An Enrolled Agent told me I know the 16,000 IRS agents added were not for Obamacare, but for the these two areas that are prone to abuse...

According to official govt policy, Mexico encourages its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system......and are, in fact, Mexican citizens.

==============================================

AFFIDAVIT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
IN A SWORN AFFIDAVIT TO A TEXAS COURT, MEXICO
SWORE THAT MEXICANS ON US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico/s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system

The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad."

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.

==========================================

Ergo, illegals have two governments looking after their interests.....our govt subsidizing them, and the Mexican govt making sure they collect.

Its time the US govt look after the interests of American citizens.

EITC cannot be cost effectively fixed. We would have to hire a hundred thousand more IRS agents. End EITC.

End EITC. Replace it with NO TAX on low income workers. No FICA, No SS, No Medicare. No Employer share. No employee share.

Employee now takes home big bucks with no change in minimum wage.
Employer has less overhead in reporting to the Feds. Most importantly, employers will structure their businesses to be productive, not to game the IRS regs (at least for this part).

Customers will have no increase in prices, unlike a raise in minimum wage.

A win for everyone except the unions, lobbyists and protestors.

Also, no welfare for any immigrant. Nobody should come here to get welfare. Not TANF, Not EBT, Not SNAP, Not WIC, Not Medicaid, Not Medicare, Not SSI. Not legals, not illegals, not refugees, not naturalized citizens.

Also cut back eligibility for SSI welfare of citizens.

Currently, welfare has more take home pay than work.
Cutting taxes increased take home pay to exceed welfare. So there is less reason to choose welfare over work as many now do.

...It allows people without a Social Security number, including those in the country illegally, to file taxes...
>

No, it allows illegal aliens, aided and abetted by our own govt (as they KNOWINGLY allow), to enslave the U.S. taxpayer.

2nd, NO Citizen should pay 0% in taxes, let alone $$ ‘back’ (which they NEVER earned). Not the ‘poor’, the sick, the old\retired...NOBODY should have ZERO skin in the cost of their govt and the services (il)legally provided.

Red herring. A deported illegal immigrant would have a pretty hard time collecting social benefits.

Deport them all. Fine and jail the criminals who employ them. Problem solved.

In one example, investigators found a single address in Lansing, Mich., that was used to file 2,137 separate tax returns. The IRS issued more than $3.3 million in refunds to that address. Three addresses in Florida, the epicenter of the identity theft crisis, filed more than 500 returns totaling more than $1 million in refunds for each address.

The FBI and Sessions should be dealing with this... NOT the IRS...
