A negative income tax means that refundable tax credits amounted to more than the person’s income tax liability, meaning they got a check from the government. The Tax Policy Center estimates another 15-million people would fall into the "zero or negative income tax" category under Obama’s tax plan.

Ah, then you'd have to file a tax return to qualify - which is QUITE different from "taking it from A to give to B". I fall into that category simply because I have taxed withheld at the single rate (filing joint) - 'cuz I don't like surprises at tax time - and we generally get a refund.

That's still very different from what John (and other) have been screaming at the top of his/their lungs.
