The child tax credit was an unnecessary break to wealthy two-income families.

Actually, it's more of a break to middle-income families like mine where only one parent (myself) works and my wife stays home and raises our kids.

It’s a band-aid to a system that keeps on trying to be fairy godmother to everything under the sun.

God groans. Both at the usurpation and at the coldness of heart that opened a door to it.

If one parent is staying home with the kids, why is there a child care tax credit? I don't see where this is better for the middle class and most non-wealthy Seniors than the plan we have now is. I don't itemize, so I get the personal exemption and the standard deduction. It's probably better than the mess that this bill will set up.

When I read that the child tax care credit would be for those making up to $250,000 would be the ones getting the full credit, I cringed. This has become a rich-get-richer tax scheme.
