>If you're going to talk about tax breaks for corporations, then you have to talk about fraud from Earned Income Tax Credits. The Treasure Dept Inspector General has acknowledged that the IRS improperly pays out billions every year. The IRS was given recommendations years ago for how to trim this, but didn't implement them.

FWIW, I heard once from someone in a position to know that the EITC is the single most effective anti-poverty program we have.
