Nope, didn't avoid a thing. As you admit your case was constructed.
Furthermore it did not address what I said.

You said, and I quote:
The short, short form is that EICs are issued for people being
irresponsible (like, having kids while well below the poverty level),

Your constructed example was that someone who had kids *then* lost their
job. My case is the more common no job or single, low wage job, have a kid
because the nanny state will take care of it or they can't figure out how the
darn things are made. That's two completely different cases.

Which is an argument for haveing a free public school system that
teaches responsible sexual conduct.
Also an agument for free abortion.
Also an argument for not getting raped.
