What in the world are you talking about? This is not the Tax Policy Center, it’s the Tax Foundation. That was identified in the very TITLE of the article, and the article itself links to their web site. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were just confused and not posting intentional lies in an effort to defend your candidate. This is their web site:

Yes, the article is mainly about the TF.

However, ....The Tax Foundation echoed concerns expressed earlier this week by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center that tripling the child tax deduction could push more low-income families off the tax rolls .... is what concerns me about this assessment, from either organization.

One organization (TF) may be concerned about the expense (although why someone at TF thinks a low-income family pays Federal Income tax is completely ludicrous -- what they should have said is that it will allow more middle income real-tax payers to keep what they earn) ), while the other (TPC) is just plain concerned that their constituents somehow won't be able to get the credit AND EITC (and whatever other credit they can get) if their AGIs are too low. If the TF were totally non-partisan, they should have opposed the proposal on its own demerits. The should have taken great pains to separate themselves with TPC....
