You’re actually completely wrong. People with kids can get many times more than they even pay during the year. I personally have gotten more back in federal taxes at the end of the year than i paid in… by a couple thousand dollars. Two kids, my (now ex) wife didnt work at all, plus i wasnt making much money at the time. I know many other people that have the same thing happen.
No welfare or any of that nonsense, so i dont know about that.
but now im divorced and make more money and pay in a ton every year.
