Social safety net programs — particularly the Earned Income Tax Credit — support workers and decrease their reliance on disability benefits.

The brief’s key findings are:

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) encourages low-income people with kids to work – those without kids get a much smaller credit.

Previous EITC research has focused on younger households, but some analysts suggest an expanded childless credit could boost work among near retirees.

This study finds that raising the EITC by $1,000 would produce a modest rise in employment among single women ages 55-64.

However, this impact is much smaller than that for younger single women, perhaps because older women have higher earnings or more health limitations.

Thus, an expanded EITC would primarily benefit younger workers, though with a positive side effect for at least some older workers too.

This Tumblr account will occasionally become a pre-EITC Cutler Beckett appreciation account. I.E. I will randomly make a post about how nice and innocent Cutler Beckett was when he was a kid and how we should protect the child at all costs. I don't care that I legally and physically cannot adopt kid Beckett, I will become his dad now and no one can stop me.

Whitmer Warns If IRS Wacks Earned Income Tax Credit, Cuts Could Cost Families $10K — Here’s What to Know

IRS data shows Michigan households could lose crucial federal tax refunds if proposed Republican budget changes take effect. In Lansing on June 18, 2025, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer warned that a proposed U.S. House Republican budget bill would impose “dangerous attacks” on the federal Earned Income Tax Credit Michigan, potentially stripping more than 700,000 Michigan households of thousands of…

@harringtontm sent a meme: ❛ can’t you see it? how wonderful it would be if you came with me? ❜

       One of the true perks of captaincy — aside from the title, of course — was personal space. For the first time in his seafaring career, Jack had an entire cabin with which to do as he pleased. He could personalise the walls, as he had already done, with periwinkle paint and a pink trim that only to his eyes looked like a vibrant, Caribbean sunset, keep trinkets he'd acquired from ports all around the world and stretch out in a bunk instead of sleeping in a hammock surrounded by the snores of grizzled old men. Sharing that space had not even been a hypothetical to enter his mind, and yet Steve had been in this bunk more nights than not, as of late. Enough for the crew to probably notice. Enough that Jack didn't rightly care. Illuminated by the evening candlelight as Steve currently was, Jack considered himself a very lucky man — even in spite of the odd invitation being extended to him tonight.

       Sat on the bed, Jack inclined his head towards his companion, a crease forming across his brow. “ I can see me watching every eligible young lady in town vie for your attention all evening while their expectant mothers finalise the dowrys. ” Surely that fact hadn't changed in the months since the governor's son had been away. Yet the persistence in Steve's gaze seemed to imply he wasn't going to back down easily. With a groan, Jack dramatically flopped back onto the bed. “ Are you really sure this is a good idea? I don't know the first thing about how to act at a ball. ” And sure, he could probably pretend, but he didn't really want to.

You hear it all the time. The illegals do the work no one else is willing to do for the wages offered. They do the work no one else will do. They are hardworking people. Citizens cannot have both welfare and a job. Illegals can and do. Illegals avoid the payroll tax and collect cash under the table. Then they go to the welfare office and for some unknown reason they are able to collect welfare even though they are not citizens.

They can receive welfare on behalf of a US born baby. Anchor babies get them a visa and welfare. But they can still work jobs for cash. Several million illegal immigrants also have work authorization (e.g. DACA, TPS, and some asylum applicants) allowing receipt of the EITC.

“54 percent of households headed by immigrants — naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal immigrants — used one or more major welfare program. This compares to 39 percent for U.S.-born households.” If the government knows where they are and who they are and that they are illegal, why are they giving them welfare instead of deporting them? Well in most cases they simply lie which is not hard to do and isn’t policed. They can lie to the employer and say they are illegal when they are not so they can get cash under the table but still go collect welfare. Or they can be illegal and still get state welfare and welfare like SNAP and emergency care. They will call an ambulance and go to the ER even though it is not an emergency because that care is covered.

I have been reading artists on social media talking about doing their taxes and having to pay over half their income as freelancers in taxes. I spoke to a few freelancers/artists I know and some said they also had to do this at the time - one recounted making $1k as a side gig while having a main (low) salaried job, going to H&R block, and having to pay 600 of that in taxes.

I am not a specific expert in this field but I know enough about tax law for this be a huge red flag to me - people making say $20k should not under any circumstances be paying 50%+ tax rates. Curious if anyone has any experience here on what is going on? Are people failing to claim EITC? Double-countiny income sources? Is there some ludicrous set-up that punishes specific kinds of freelance? I assume there are solid "how to do your taxes" guides the artist community has made, what is the consensus here.

ABOLISH the IRS- one of the largest providers of welfare in the USA and one the MOST WASTEFUL of govt. agencies. This is outrageous: “The IRS relies on U.S. residents (not just citizens) self-certifying their qualification for these IRS welfare programs that are effectively a ‘negative income tax.’”

And the waste-just one example: “they admitted to $18.2B fraudulent overpayments in FY2022 for EITC alone.
