On Tuesday, The Hill reported that the IRS overpaid the benefit for the Earned Income Tax Credit program by between 21 percent and 25 percent -- or $11.6 billion to $13.6 billion -- in 2012. Put in context, the FBI spent just over $8 billion on salaries that year. The Department of Education's budget for grants to primary and secondary education in 2013 is $14.5 billion.
On the bright side, the IRS estimates that 2012 overpayment was lower than in most years; then again, over the last decade, the IRS has overpaid by up to $132.6 billion.

I think the real moral wrong in what you describe is the Govt. taking the wages from anybody and redistributing them to anyone who is able to work. It enslaves the poor waitress by giving her money to support the her kids when she can't afford to be having more kids. I saw it growing up. The people who worked and did not accept the Govt. help taught their kids to be self reliant. The ones who took the tax money taught their kids how to work the system to get the money, and sell drugs to have extra cash. Our extra money went to help pay the costs of incarceration. Talk about paying twice.
