Tax code reform to end the Earned Income Credit.

Reform the tax code to eliminate the Earned Income Credit. This tax credit is wasteful and unnecessary. Each year the government pays out outlandish sums of money on the EIC. This credit allows people with qualifying children to receive a refund that is quite often 5 times more than what they paid in federal taxes. Just because someone has kids does not mean they should be unfairly rewarded with money that they did not pay in federal taxes. A refund is supposed to be given when the amount of taxes you paid was more than what your federal tax should have been. This tax credit is discriminatory and unjust. Elimination of this tax credit will add billions of dollars back to the national budget.
