“The earned income tax credit serves as an offset to social security and income taxes and provides work incentives for many low-income families with dependents.”
“The EITC is a non-bureaucratic way to reward work effort. …no middlemen service providers, no long lines at government offices …no need to take time off from work to apply.”
This [the state EITC] will allow the working poor to keep more of their earnings rather than send them to Lansing, puts more money into the Michigan economy and is a tax cut. It is good policy and the right thing to do. Reagan was right.”
“The credit is a lifeline for the working poor.”
“A state EITC is a way to put a little more money in the hands of families…This is particularly significant right now to try and help people as the next step in welfare reform.”
The EITC “sends assistance directly to those in need; to those who work hard and yet struggle to make a living and provide for their children.”
The EITC “is especially good news for the working poor.” The EITC helps to “reward work, and to help families stay off welfare and continue in the world of work where they can work their way up.”
“When the federal earned income tax credit was expanded in 1986, President Ronald Reagan called it ‘...the best anti-poverty, the best job creation, the best pro-family measure to come out of Congress.’ I agree and ask your support for a state credit equal to 10 percent of the federal amount for Kansans.”
“Senators made significant progress on income taxes with bracket and earned income credit changes that will amount to significant relief for families trying to earn their way to self-sufficiency. The changes will also offset some of the deterrents for executives to pick Nebraska as a place they want to live, work and do business.”
