Why don't people pay tax in Pakistan?

Why do people with kids get tax refunds bigger than they pay in.?

• I hate how people who get large checks at tax time claim they are paying taxes. If you paid in 2,000 and you are getting 8,000 back you did not pay taxes. You just took 6,000 of someone elses money that they paid in. I have a friend that got back almost 15,000 back in taxes. Thats more than some people make all year working. People with kids get enough handouts while I work up to 84 hours a week to pay my bills and I just have to pay more in. It is likd people are being punished for being single and working harder to make it. I dont think I should be punished for working over 40 hours a week. If anything they should have tax credit for people working over 40hours because they are being more responsible than someone barely working because they know they will get more free money at tax time.

• Answer:

  The tax code provides credits to parents with children as incentive to work instead of drawing welfare. If you think you should get something extra, you are welcome to write your congressman and tell him.
