Why should they care. They get paid either way.
And if the problem gets “big enough” they may be able to increase their numbers.
The GAO has listed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Program as having the second highest dollar amount of improper payments of all Federal programs. The IRS has made little improvement in reducing EITC improper payments since 2002 when it was first required to report estimates of these payments to Congress. The IRS continues to report that 23% -Â 28% of EITC payments are issued improperly each year. In Fiscal Year 2009, this equated to $11 billion to $13 billion in EITC improper payments
Surely, these are noble folks just trying to get their part of the “spreading the wealth around”.
But if you’re a “rich bastard” you’re just greedy for not wanting to pay more taxes.
See how that works?
