Let us talk about fairness for everybody: 262,000 of these children are from military families; 178,000 are children from farming families; 567,000 are children of nurses and orderlies. They say no to these children. Three hundred thirty-seven thousand are children of teachers. They say no to these additional children. We can go on and talk about earned income, but this is fairness for all people with children in this country and they deserve a child tax credit.
