On the recordFebruary 28, 1996
I wanted to just conclude this $500 per child tax credit with this chart right here; the big blue section shows that 89 percent of the people who will benefit from $500 per child tax credit have a combined family income of $75,000 or less. Now, the red line is in the category of $75,000 to $100,000. That is 7 percent. Above $100,000, it is 4 percent. So, you know, if we want to do something to help middle America, if we want to do something to help America's middle class, this is the ticket to go, and not an increase in the minimum wage. This is real dollars. This will help them in their pocket.
