Why are you against Americans keeping more of their own money to raise their children?

“Why are you against Americans keeping more of their own money to raise their children?”

The earned income tax credit is not “keeping their own money”.

IT’s a welfare payment.

In fact, all tax credits that exceed taxes paid are welfare payments.

This has nothing to do with Americans keeping their own money. Increasing “refundability” does nothing for Americans who actually pay income taxes. It simply increases a payment to Americans who pay no income tax. It is a redistributive welfare payment, not a tax break. Republicans used to be against that sort of thing.
