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.

This is real dollars. This will help them in their pocket.
