GF, you make it sound like the EITC was a Reagan idea. It's basis goes back to 1975. It was revised numerous times and what Reagan noted was that the EITC was being absorbed by the rate of inflation. He attached an inflation adjuster to the credit. It certainly was not HIS plan. You must get your facts straight.

The EITC, as it was proposed, was to encourage people to work. It removed many individuals from the poverty roles with a credit that was phased out after so much money was earned, but certainly was an incentive to get off your butt and work. Unlike O's plan, which is to take my hardworking money and give it to individuals brazenly who don't pay taxes. It pays people to not work.
