re: Do people on medicaid, food stamps, and other handouts get tax refunds?

I can assure you no OT baller would trade their lifestyle with a lifestyle on food stamps and living for a tax credit, regardless of the taxes OT ballers pay.
However, the issue that most wage earners have is that too many of these "free loaders", at the very least, appear to have it comfortable. Free food, free room, little extra for themselves, all while never going to work.
No food stamp earner is heading to Disney anytime soon.
No one who doesn't have a job, are buying premium football game tickets.
But then there's fraud.....

Oh, and speaking of fraud, I can assure you, without reservation, that the more folks make, the more fraud there is. Sure, everyone loves the new Escalade in the handicap spot at the Walmarks loading up on free food story, and sure that happens.
But what about the millions on the bogus "disability"?
What about all the unreported, under reported income? Bogus charitable donations?
I can go on.
