Ideas from the Right: Conservative Approaches to Working Family Tax Credits
In July 2014, a commentary series was launched: “Ideas from the Right: Conservative Approaches to Working Family Tax Credits.” The series is designed to highlight ideas from conservative policymakers and thought leaders on how to improve tax credits like the EITC and Child Tax Credit. Ideas from the Right seeks to draw attention to the growing support for these credits at both the federal and state level while sparking discussion on the merits of different approaches and opportunities for consensus among conservatives and progressives.
