Sounds good. But can we afford it? To offer the refundable tax credit to the poor, the rest of the population would have to pay more in taxes. We are taxed already to the tilt.

I am just sick and tired of reading articles in which ideas to help the poor and tax the rich are espoused. People are  poor for a reason. And people are rich for a reason too. We are not a socialist country and some sympathy for those with high income would be appreciated. The poor are getting enough breaks, and it is time to give the rich some incentives too.
