Thanks Lester,
Yeah, I was playing a little loose with the term refund but I hear what your
saying.

Richard,
you do understand that the Earned Income Credit is actually cash given to
poorly paid parents. In other words anyone earning money and paying in is
giving anyone with the EIC cash. A pure handout. When it's needed it's
great
for the folks receiving it but to say that they are getting a tax refund is
misleading. The US Government is giving them money. Period. More power to
them, I would rather that my taxes go to some good purpose than many others
but please fully understand what's happening.
Lester
