Republicans in Washington want to change our tax code to further benefit
billionaires and punish working people, and one of their proposed changes
is gutting the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

This tax credit, which currently helps nearly 17 million working families
with children make ends meet, isn’t a giveaway. It’s a core, longstanding
part of our tax code that allows workers—both those who have kids and
those who don’t—to keep a bit more of the money they earn.

Along with changes to the EITC, Republicans have proposed eliminating the
“head of household” filing status for single working parents.

The result could be that a single parent earning $25,000 annually would
have $2,000 less in their bank account each year.

Tax policy is wonky, but it’s not hard to imagine what having $2,000 less
per year means for that single mom or dad.

As a single mom of three, I know kids don’t need less food or medicine
because they have one parent instead of two. Yet, Republicans propose to
remove even this modest boost for working parents. Our tax policy should
uplift all families, not punish children because they don’t live in a
two-parent household.

The lack of empathy that Republicans are showing for working Americans is
astounding. The EITC was created in 1975 and has enjoyed bipartisan
support until now. This longstanding policy has helped lift children out
of poverty and helped families stay on top of their bills amidst rising
prices.

At a time when more and more families struggle to make ends meet,
Republicans want to make things even harder.

Instead of spending more federal dollars on tax cuts for billionaires,
Congress should focus on keeping its promises to voters: lower costs,
invest in the middle class, and put more money back in the pockets of the
everyday workers who power our economy.
