Dependent Care Savings Accounts
Anyone can put in $ 2,000 a year for dependent care.
If a poor person puts $ 1,000 in the government will match $ 500.
A poor person can use his Earned Income Tax Credit for the $ 1,000 contribution.
So the government gives a poor person $ 1,000. The person puts the money into this fund and the government matches its own contribution.
What a brilliant expansion of the welfare state.
LOL, you’re right, but at least this incentivizes them to spend the money on actual dependent care rather than beer and tatoos.
