“...Some tax experts say the tax overhaul might also hurt those who aspire to be middle class. The bottom half of taxpayers now pay no net income tax, according to Treasury Department figures. Many receive refunds via the Earned Income Tax Credit. The plan unveiled Thursday would require eligible taxpayers to provide their Social Security Number to receive this benefit, thereby creating a possible delay in receiving a refund as the IRS enforces this provision...”

My goodness, what a terrible hardship to inflict upon illegal aliens. They must now provide a social security number in order to receive money for nothing.  What a heartless provision.  No wonder democrats are against this bill.  Of course they are always against letting people keep their own money.  How will they make a better world without controlling all the wealth?
