Working Families Tax Credit
The rising cost of living, coupled with stagnating incomes, means too many families cannot take part in the American promise: If you work hard, you can get ahead in our country. Today, nearly half of Americans don’t have enough cash on hand to cover a $400 unforeseen expense, with significantly worse rates among people of color. Cash gives people the tools to solve their own problems and the Working Families Tax Credit is the beginning of the solution.
What it is
The Working Families Tax Credit is a bold modernization of the Earned Income Tax Credit. It puts cash into working people's pockets.
What it does
- Helps working people face the rising cost of living and housing.
- Fights rising inequality.
- Makes taxes fairer.
- Builds on a $15 minimum wage.
Outcome
- Benefits half the population.
- Reaches low-income and middle-class families.
- Excites voters seeking new economic solutions.
- Complements an increased $15 minimum wage.
- Provides a pro-worker and pro-family policy that is a bold response to federal tax cuts.
