don't think you have any idea what ur saying as a result, more taxes will be collected from those making above $400, more taxes will be collected
If this year's inflation is entirely blamed on Biden despite it resulting from past decisions, why wouldn't the same apply to poverty? And the decrease in poverty races accelerated dramatically in 2021.
We've been promised the same in the past. And yet every time we raise taxes on the wealthy, it generates more tax revenue *and* the wealthy don't suffer in terms of income growth, nor does the economy suffer (the other regular doomsday prediction). Wealthy people pay more in taxes and move on with their lives.
Incredibly deceptive article given that taxes have a very long tail (super high income earners) and the categories listed here generally don't. Always puzzled me why you post from sources like reason.com.
There's a difference between "raised taxes" and "significantly raised taxes". A significant difference.
Yes, yes I do. I live in one of the bluest areas you can imagine and I guarantee it is safer than where you live. Clown.
You are right. He has only been a small part of the improvement. But he’s fully responsible for everything bad that’s happened in his first year.
in his head, Asians and whites make up one demographic group. based on that warped logic, he has concluded that a city with a racial demogphics of 40% asians, 40% whites and 20% other non-whites is not racial diverse because one group makes up for 80% of the population
Great, we can all celebrate this success. What contributed to this? What should we do going forward? https://www.childtrends.org/publications/lessons-from-a-historic-decline-in-child-poverty Key findings Finding 1. Lower unemployment rates, increases in single mothers’ labor force participation, and increases in state minimum wages explained about 33 percent of the overall decline in child poverty from 1993 to 2019, but healthy economic conditions alone were not sufficient to protect children from poverty. Finding 2. As a whole, while demographic shifts did not contribute to the decline in child poverty, they were associated with about 43 percent of the decline in child deep poverty from 1993 to 2019. Finding 3. The social safety net was responsible for much of the decline in child poverty from 1993 to 2019, cutting poverty by 9 percent in 1993 and by 44 percent in 2019—tripling the number of children protected from poverty over this time. Finding 4. While the social safety net’s role in reducing child poverty grew considerably over the last quarter century, the United States has made little progress in strengthening the social safety net for children with the least resources—specifically for those in deep poverty. The social safety net reduced deep poverty among children by about two thirds in both 1993 and 2019. Finding 5. From 1993 to 2019, poverty rates declined—and declined at similar rates—for nearly all subgroups of children. This means that disparities by parental nativity, race and ethnicity, and family structure persisted. Finding 6. The role of the social safety net in reducing child poverty grew from 1993 to 2019 for nearly every subgroup. However, the social safety net played a smaller role in reducing poverty for some groups of children—specifically, for children in immigrant families, Asian/Hawaiian/Pacific Islander children, Hispanic children, and children without stably employed parents. Policy recommendations Recommendation 1. Recraft social safety net programs to prioritize child needs and determine eligibility based on child needs, rather than parent characteristics. The 2021 Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Advance Child Tax Credit represent examples of programs based on children’s needs, in two ways. First, the very premise of the 2021 expansion of the CTC was based on research that shows the importance of economic stability for child well-being and the value of investing in the early childhood years (a period of intensive brain development). The Advance CTC provided families with children predictable monthly payments of up to $250 per child for children ages 6 to 17, and up to $300 per child under age 6. Second, its eligibility requirements were based on the child’s citizenship status, not that of the parent. Recommendation 2. Ease administrative barriers to the social safety net for eligible families to reduce child poverty and deep poverty, and to mitigate disparities between subgroups of children. Recommendation 3. Support stable parental employment and more robust female labor force participation with fair labor markets, higher minimum wages, and affordable, accessible child care. Recommendation 4. Maintain low teen birth rates by increasing public investment in evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention strategies and safeguarding adolescents’ access to safe abortion. In 2022, a momentous Supreme Court ruling—Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization—overturned the legal precedent established by the 1973 Roe v. Wade court case, granting states broad flexibility to impose restrictions on abortion. Restricting adolescents’ access to abortion may slow or reverse recent teen birth trends, and, by extension, have a detrimental influence on child deep poverty. In recent years, teen pregnancy rates, adolescent abortion rates, and the proportion of all abortions completed by adolescents have declined. Still, as of 2019, adolescents ages 15 to 19 accounted for 9 percent of all abortions nationally (an estimated 53,049 abortions). And our analysis found that declines in teen births were associated with 52 percent of the decline in deep poverty rates for children from 1993 to 2019. Recommendation 5. Promote the economic, social, and caregiving benefits that families bring to children and their parents, and reform policies that undermine their role in children’s lives.
Since "significantly" was never defined either by the OP or by you, it's pretty irrelevant. That said, there is historical evidence to support my assertion and none to support yours.
