It is a miserable truth, but there are too many people making too much money to ever get rid of our current system with such a radical measure. Any changes in the tax system can't be a revolution they need to be slow initiatives. Just my humble opinion. @ Kevin,

It helps people who work offset the cost of working so that they have the opportunity to support their families and improve themselves. Whether they take advantage of it is their problem but at least we give them the opportunity. Yes the system could be changed in a lot of ways, starting with not paying people to have kids. (Yes I'm talking about your dependent deduction too.) And by making these credits available to individuals without families. You know the people who are behaving responsibly by working hard, going to school, not having kids they can't afford, saving, etc. So that one day they can have an income with a positive tax rate.
