A Jan. 20 letter talked about tax credits, a very bipartisan issue (Reader’s View: “
Tax credits can help keep King’s dream alive
”).
Tax credits allow hard-working people a chance to keep more of what they earn. If that can reduce poverty, all the better.
This seems like a no-brainer, something that deserves the support of Republicans, Democrats, Marijuana Now Party folks, and others.
If it’s part of Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream, that’s fine, too.
I call on Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach and Congressmen Pete Stauber and Tom Emmer to let House Speaker Kevin McCarthy know that passing the permanent extension of the Child Tax Credit is a winner for the party and the country — and we should get it done.
