Points to make:

 

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) lifts more than 6.6 million Americans annually above the poverty line, including 3.3 million children.

The EITC, the Child Tax Credit, and other measures are effective, but more must be done.  In 2008, nearly one in four children lived in a family struggling to put food on the table.
