If you make less than the poverty line, the government gives you more money than you paid in for at least trying. You can’t afford to pay your rent with the earned income credit, but I bet you could afford some drugs then./sarcasm
If they had children, Uncle Sam might give them more than you paid in income tax with the earned income tax credit. However, they have also paid wage taxes and state income tax, not to mention sales tax, phone tax, and so on. Even with children and the maximum EITC, they’ll still be net tax payers. If they weren’t comic strip characters, that is.

Better start saving for that baby. They cost more than drugs.
