Doesn't it do your heart good?

Doesn't it do your heart good to help poor people? The IRS has paid out in error more than $13 billion (it could be as much as $15.6 billion) in earned income tax credits. That's where people who haven't paid in any tax to begin with get some of the taxes you paid in. And now we find out that they're evidently handing out our money to anybody who applies for it, whether they qualify or not.

For the 50% of us who pay taxes, that averages about $190 each for the errors, not counting those who legally got a payment. Don't you just love liberal giveaway programs? Isn't it gratifying to you that your money gives some extra spending money to people who sit on their rears in their Section 8 houses except for when they're chowing down on the food they bought with SNAP funds or chatting/texting/playing games on their Obama phones or procreating with the aid of the Viagra they are guaranteed through Obamacare? Isn't this a great country!
