“In its analysis, CBO measured individual income taxes net of refundable credits,” it said.

There is a point you are trying to make. Right? What is it?

Are you mad at the poor people for being poor? Mad at their lobbyists for getting them the benes? Mad at the top 40% for paying all the taxes? Mad at the Congresscritters for setting up the tax code this way.

Who you mad at this time?
