I wonder if Bush will try to take away the Earned Income Credit. It's the last thing left in the tax code that helps the working poor.

BTW, you no longer need to have a child to qualify for the EIC.

I've worked several years for VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) and I support the EIC whole heartedly. It gives monetary incentive for people to work for income. Hopefully it helps some gain job skills that lead them out of poverty.
