What does this forum think of the child tax credit.

Children aren't worth any type of tax credit.

I thinks its going to bite a lot of people in the arse come tax time next year. Most people think it’s just free money. They don’t realize it’s just an advance on the normal child tax credit.

Welfare program just like the EIC, welfare, food stamps, Obama phone, Section 8 housing etc....

I hate refundable credits, but at the same time I support anything that allows people to keep more of their own money.

So I guess I'm saying "it depends."

Can you specify?

Are you referring to this silliness they've been handing out each month of late or, are you referring to the child tax credit that is part of our normal filing?

lessen the tax burden and a credit won’t be necessary

Using tax dollars to prop up a failed party and gain control of the country.

I think they should double it and only couples filing married jointly should be eligible.

I'm not sure I understand why there is a refundable portion, the non-refundable portion is relatively large. Those exhausting the non-refundable portion are likely qualifying for the EIC. Typical tax credit. As far as the advanced payments are concerned, a lot of people are going to bitch when they file their taxes.

Any credit on the theft of income, modern day state sponsored slavery, is a step in the right direction. A tax on consumption with the .gov not being able to take more than 5% of GDP in any given year should be the MAX taxpayers pay. There should also be hard caps on taxes at EVERY level of government that taxes.
