>The Child Tax Credit is a seriously good piece of policy...

Maybe in intent, but certainly not in implementation. Fine if you want to give money to the poor / people with no income, but enacting that through our tax system (designed to collect tax dollars) seems like a particularly poor proscription to achieve the ends. Here's another take (that I'm sure will be unpopular)...

'In 2021, progressives cloaked an expansion to our entitlement programs through a tax cut to get the bill through Congress. This has been hard to implement, and company's like Inuit aren't helping as much as they could.'



Just like Obamacare... income taxation is the foot in the door to basically allow the government to arbitrarily meddle in the personal finances of every single citizen.
