Karen Thurman: “he certainly will not get the part that has been debated over the last…”

On the recordJune 26, 1997

he certainly will not get the part that has been debated over the last couple of years, and it has been the last couple of years where we have begun to talk about this $500 child credit or family credit so that we could make sure that every child was given the same advantages. Under this, it is my understanding, unless somebody can correct me, that somebody even under $30,000 would not be eligible or would not have the advantage of that $500 tax credit. So if one has two children, it is not there. In fact, for those who read the article this morning, it actually goes through a situation about a police officer who might be being paid about $23,078 a year starting off, has two kids, he does get an earned income tax credit, and he gets the earned income tax credit not because he is staying home, but because he is out there working every day.
