Hilarious that the government makes some of us think that portion of someone's money returned to that person is a "welfare payment"

Actually (refundable) EITC is often literally a welfare payment. Depending on income and family status, you may get back 100% of the tax you paid not counting EITC, then EITC is just a straight cash payment on top.
