One issue I have is when we suggest using tax credits for expenses that are ongoing like childcare…how does a tax credit help a family pay for childcare and other expenses in the NOW…
Aren’t there other ways to get cash into families’ hands in real time and not make them wait until they file their taxes to apply the credit?!
Weren't the text credits sent out monthly during the pandemic? I imagine they could do the same. Also for those who don't earn enough to pay taxes a text credit doesn't help that much. We should call it a dividend and just send out checks. Like the people of Alaska used to get a check for their share of the oil proceeds, the American people ought to get a check for their share of all the investments that their tax dollars have put into medical and technological research.
Let's give some consideration to connecting with folks by discussing our shared needs using the categories of Safety, Love, & Joy. We all share the same needs, but have history based issues around the strategies used to meet them. Those needs we share make us all one family.
