![Apparently, last year the IRS gave approximately $3.2 BILLION in refunds. "Now, let’s see your Venmo account and that $700 transaction you didn’t claim! ~ IRS" [568x663 - 44KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/dYhvYa.jpg){kind=link}
Since they're still voting, can I claim relatives that are deceased? 😄

I guess I need to start claiming all those relatives I have in Mexico.

Uhm.
Let's set aside the welfare payment disguised as a tax refund. Most taxpayers have taxes deducted from their wages, and usually wind up overpaying through the deduction. So they get the overage refunded. This adds up to a lot. $3.2 billion sounds like a hell of a lot of money but it's $10 per person in the US.

Nice stretch, but you can’t simply average all the tax refunds over the entire population.
Check out how many real taxpayers there actually are. Not all of them are overpaying.
Then do the maths again.

What, is it 10% of the population, 30 million? Then it'd be ~ $100 per taxpayer.
