Hardworking families are the backbone of North Carolina’s prosperity. But for too long the well-heeled and well-connected have used their influence to profit at the expense of those who work hard. Instead of corporate tax cuts — which only help the rich get richer — we need a fair tax system that rewards those who make our economy tick.
An Earned Income Tax Credit is the best way to make North Carolina’s tax system work for us, not just corporate CEOs. This tax credit could put nearly $100 million per year in the pockets of hardworking North Carolina families, and our elected officials could make it part of our tax system at any time. It is the fairest way to benefit those of us who are working hard, not just those at the top.
