What you are describing might intuitively sound like what a negative income tax should mean, had you never heard of a negative income tax before, but that is not what a negative income tax is. A negative income tax, which is a name for a type of benefit system, does not mean that people are literally negatively taxed, regardless of their income.

eitc is a prototypical negative income tax and gives you more money for each dollar of added income up to a point. so… exactly what i’m describing?
