Child Tax Credit

Isaac Shapiro’s “GOP’s Child Tax Credit: A Crown Jewel in Fool’s Gold” (Commentary, Dec. 20) says it all. Stripped of the rhetoric, the Republican revolutionaries are naked reverse Robin Hoods, taking from the poor to give to the rich.

We don’t need tax breaks for the affluent that pander to the national failing of greed. We do need for everyone to pay their fair share of the nation’s bills, and we need sensible, equitable efforts to reduce expenditures. One can only hope that the voters remember this Republican sham in l996.
