already done, lookup earned income credit on Form 1040;
you'd know about this if you were poor or born in another country then moved to the US
I know about the EIC. I was talking about both eliminating filing for that plus raising the floor to where poorer people get taxed on their income.
what you propose would crater the economy of Armenia West (aka Glendale, CA)...people file there just to get EIC (most income off-books but just enough on books to get EIC)
(long before there was a PFA i had my Grenade & Crossbones avatar at DD)
