I agree with Willie Dickerson’s recent letter to the editor, “Fight poverty by offering tax credits for kids, rent.” We need broad-sweeping legislation that lifts our kids and their families out of poverty through an expanded Child Tax Credit and a Renter’s Tax Credit.
Sad to read about millions of Americans trapped in poverty, in “the richest nation on earth” (“Why are so many Americans poor? Because we allow it, 2 books argue.” by Timothy Noah in the March 16 Daily Herald).
Alicia Crank does a good job illustrating the importance of listening to each other (“Alicia’s View: Our differences can describe and not divide,” The Herald, Jan. 27).
By calling and writing our members of Congress, we can call for legislation like renewing the Child Tax Credit that lifted millions of children and families out of poverty.
