An Example of Redistribution of Wealth

The Earned Income Credit.

For those of you who may think that Barack Obama is the first to propose such tax plans, look at the EIC and analyze what it is.

The EIC is a tax credit that has been around since the 1980's. Reagan introduced it. The EIC is a credit on tax returns that allows those below poverty level to receive an additional refund.

I guess that made Reagan a socialist.
