The husband has to work, the wife has to work, the wife's paycheck has to go towards food and/or child care.
The bad credit of this nation's people is brought upon us by the government that controls us. If I can find any tax loophole to try and regain some money from the corrupted bureaucracy, then you're darn-tootin that I'm gonna spend it however I see fit.
And don't get me started on the welfare families. I know some who have kids JUST so they can claim money back. She has 7 children, doesn't work, doesn't have a husband, and doesn't want one. She claims so much in monthly benefits, that she lives quite well. I, on the other hand, am in the bracket that they take the most out of. The single white male.
I only qualified for EIC because last year I volunteered my time for AmeriCorps-VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America). Similar to the Peace Corps, but you volunteer in your own community. The pay was about 800/month, before taxes. I was supposed to get the taxes back, but I didn't I lost almost all of it due to the $4300 stipend they paid on my school loan; it was considered income.
So, yeah, I'll take this and put it to very good use. It'll help pay for a year of tightening the budget.

wow...woe is you, huh? I as commenting it was nice to see the funds go to a good use, but apparently you have a guilty conscious and political agenda and were influenced by HarryT's waaaay of the reservation opinion.
