Here's another reason that it torques me to pay taxes just to see the government blow it.

I have zero problem with paying taxes but I do expect them to be handled properly, i.e. for the benefit of US citizens.
For kids who don't even live here. I claim that same credit and since I have an SSN I have to supply my kid's SSN. Since they don't use an SSN for their return, that means the kids don't either and it just sails on through.
Yeah, I know someone's going to pipe up and say 'but it's only $4 billion out of how much?' and to them I say: multiply this by probably 1,000 other ways people are fleecing the gov't and there's the whole deficit.
