Yes, this is a weird post and lot of you will be wondering why i am posting this on a blog meant for kids.Well, Income Inequality is something a lot of economists are trying to solve for a long time. It impacts society in many ways – it is not about just affording the next generation iPad or having the ability to take a vacation thrice a year.It is about staying at pace with everyone and be able to put food on the table for your family on a consistent basis.
Raising the minimum wage is one way to solve this.
But increasing the Earned Income tax credit is one solution to the problem.It rewards work.
A tax credit in the United States which benefits certain taxpayers who have low incomes from work in a particular tax year. The earned income credit (EIC) reduces the amount of tax owed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and may result in a refund to the taxpayer if the amount of the credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.
