Welfare Through Tax Returns

No tax return/refund should be higher than the taxes paid in any given year. Any return higher than what is paid in is a welfare check. What's worse is the redistribution of wealth in question has to be done through the inefficient bureaucracy of the state, costing us even more. I don't blame people for taking the money since they are taxed in lots of other ways too. I blame the Government for being stupid.

Another thing that baffles me is the fact that I work for the Government, which taxes what it pays me, then makes me file a tax return so the Government can pay me some money back. Why not just lower my salary a little, make it "tax-free" and save us both some time?

Thoughts on either?
