The working poor that had the tax credit extended to them do pay taxes.
Personally I think the republicans took a huge black eye on this. First it was in, then cut out at the last second. Then when the vote came to reinstate it they did dignified things like making gagging and fake vomiting noises while casting the vote. I guess it was just a chance for them to show their true feelings about the working poor of the nation.
