my sister has two children and if she lost the child tax credit it would be a serious burden. it would be a serious burden for many families in america-- namely those in the middle class. the higher income bracket are not going to have many financial difficulties ever, and can hire tax attourneys to spend a week finding out every dime they can deduct. the lowest income bracket will have financial problems. in addition to keeping the tax cuts the congress cockroaches fought hard for, kerry also has a plan for economic growth and development that will benefit everyone.

to begrudge someone a tax credit for raising their children and enable them to save for their college is selfish and short sighted.

and the marriage penalty requires married couples to pay MORE percentage-wise in taxes than they would if they were single; that doesn't seem very fair! they could just stay single and pay the same taxes you and i do. it's not like they pay less taxes than single people would; they just don't pay more, so it is the same as if they were single.
