When I think about the tax cuts I think about how much it will help my children who are just starting out on their path in life. The child tax credit doubling will help my daughter tremendously. She may have options for paying off some of her student loans or using the extra money to take even more classes.
The 20 to 40 bucks she saves on her taxes each week will fill her gas tank relieving her of that burden or help her reduce her child care costs.
When the left thinks about tax cuts they think about everyone but their family & Friends. They would leave their own out on the street if it ment knocking the rich man down a peg or two.
This is the image YOU give with your constant bitching about the tax cuts.
What???? She had a kid & couldn't afford it??? Now gets a government handout???? OMG OMG OMG
Keeping more of one's own money is not a government handout.
SRSLY
Get a grip.
The child tax credit is a handout and has been since enacted. Why should one get rewarded to reproduce?
Where I used to work, I helped a co-worker do her taxes one year. She made about $40,000 a year gross, had two qualifying kids,
paid about $900 in federal income tax. With the GOP's doubling of the child tax credit, she would now not just pay zero in federal income tax,
but she would get a check from the government, since a percentage of the child tax credit is refundable.
btw, the same year, without kids, I paid $4000 in federal tax on about the same income.
