#Taxes #Politics #ChildTaxCredit
yes they need to bring that back ❤
And then they took it away
Just tax is less to begin with! This government sucks!
Thanks a lot Biden!
Start by reducing the deficit.
Sorry, your tax money is going to help the people of Ukraine. Billionaires didn’t get rich by giving money to those that need it.
That’s what you get when you West Virginians want Joe Manchin as Senator…
The only flaw: it was an advance on the tax credit so when you get down and do your taxes- what you got is deducted so your refund is low as a result. Bad idea folks my opinion. It’s just better to wait for tax time to take any credits, period.
@Free Indeed that doesn’t make them screwed. That just makes them stupid.
@Free Indeed it was no gimmik they gave half the credit in advance. The other half at tax time. There was no gimmik??
@S W ya it’s a bit of a trade off, but it kept the mortgage paid and groceries in the pantry the month between my husband’s job loss and his new job.
Why should I allow the government to hold my money interest free for a year when my kids needs are now?
For some reason this story did not mention all the women that have multiple children just so they can get the tax credit 4,000 per child an do not work . 🙄 They need to do a study an go into African American communities to find out what the numbers are of women with multiple children an do not work .
It was not that much. But should not have included welfare recips
Nothing wrong with used clothes. My family shops second hand for environmental reasons. The government doesn’t have to subsidize karate lessons.
Have you seen goodwill prices lately?! They’re outrageous.
@S W depends on the shop. In my town jeans are $7, an hour away they are $15.
@Professor Farmgirl really? haven’t been to one in years…when i was a kid, my fam of 6 was thrift store dressed…
a shirt was 15 cents and pants were 25 cents in the early sixties..
@S W Oh wow, I had no idea. I try to shop Walmart and Meijer clearance. I buy a size up for the next fall/winter or spring/summer season. Most of the time I can get the kids clothes for around $1-$5 there.
@dusty rhodes are you surprised to hear that costs have risen since the 60s? Why haven’t you been to one? Buying all new stuff is bad for the environment.
we should start eating these little animals instead of feeding them
I seen one buy new car and now she wish she didn’t do that she like I oweing interest on tax credit
Children should NEVER be connected to a paycheck!!!! Attaching a monthly payment to children will lead to people having or adopting children for the money. You must look at the big picture
They do that already anyway. We pay taxes in part to keep the government running but also to put back to the communities. That hasn’t been happening sufficiently for decades now.
How credit$ for each child? After 9 months? List of social nets$ in chronological steps. How much of presentation$ on maternity leave?
First thing she mentioned when the reporter asked her what does the tax credit mean to you. She said;” ju jitsu”… Smh
You can shake your head all you want. I guess you might not understand that sometimes “ju jitsu” or other activities for children are going to give them the self esteem and go getter attitude in life. Every single thing your child gets to do growing up is going to make them who they are as an adult. While ju jitsu or dance classes or gymnastics/music class may seem like a waste to you, it is absolutely important for children to be able to be able to do things like these.
It helped my family of four immensely. We raise the grandkids. I spend almost 250 dollars a month just for pullups and baby wipes.
Yea… someone needs to start informing them of what their governors are doing against them. Everyone should be aware regardless of state what their governors are up to.
Even with the fluctuation in the economy, I’m so excited I’ve been earning $45,000 from my $10,000 investment everyday 10days.
@lawmaker you don’t have to be jealous all you have to do is top up your account.
@Joe pazy Mrs Rebecca has really made name for herself. I invested $18,000 and earned & 134,000 in an interval of two week.
@Kyle Bianco she deserves more accolades, just the same way was going through comments and i saw this, gave a try and never regretted it.
Access to a good information is what the investors needs to progress financially and in life. Here is a good one and I’m grateful.
She is the best step to financial freedom 🥰🥰
Congress don’t have a problem sending millions of dollars to Ukrainians with Americans taxpayers money 💰….who is to blame not politicians the ordinary people who keep voted for these politicians who don’t give a dam about them and there financial struggles during this inflation crisis that themselves created over the years..
Gas is horrible this is not right. The government needs to fix the gas prices. We have our own line coming from Alaska. Fix it now!
How about SNAP. Didn’t those extra payments go away in May?
All states are different. It is up to governor
There are more and more women raising the next generation as single parents with help from pretty much no one. As a teacher, I have seen the reality of women having to work two jobs because they have been dumped by some irresponsible, self-serving man. Our children need help… one mother (my student teacher) told me that being on food stamps draws negative comments at the grocery store but it’s the only way the state will go after her X for unpaid child support. Nothing is as simplistic (‘we’re right and they’re wrong’) as some people expect it to be.
Negative comments wtf lmfao people need to mind there business
Open the pipeline that will lower the costs of EVERYTHING!
You mean start building again. Was never open
WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ARE ALLOWING CHILD TAX CREDITS! WE’RE CUTTING THEM OFF!
People spend that money on stuff they dont need , and no kids should also get a tax rebate.
Not everyone starts out on welfare. Things happen that are not foreseeable.
Lol all it did was raise prices of goods seen free money companies will come take it duh
More child tax credit which I have nothing of making babies like commodities. Hustle of parenthood is part of life. Make more money.
Child tax credit if huge lifeline. Proof Americans don’t get paid enough.
Than they should not have kids
I’d voice out to an ear that mattered regarding the extension of the CTC if I only had a brain.
Why have children IF YOU Can NOT afford children?
the payments killed my tax return.
no such thing as a free lunch
Yup
It was an advance.
Overall u got more tho
What am I missing……everyone else is responsible for your child? We would not be in this position if Biden wouldn’t have cut Keystone pipeline and cut/changed many of the policies that were in place. How about women filling against the fathers of children for child support. It is not okay for women to have a family without a father supporting their children. Tired of my taxing going to the idea that women can be all and then some. Why would a woman want to be everything……get help, that is why a child should have a supportive mother and supportive father. Women are being brainwashed into believing they should be going at it alone.
As a Democrat Id like to trade Joe Manchin for Republican Liz Cheney – Maybe people receiving the payments should vote more.
down hers in Houston Texas the Child tax credit keep us afloat
Manchin doesn’t care a black people or poor people..
Always the lie that people are doing drugs…
Wasn’t enough if you ask me it only paid a bill
I’ll tell you the impact. I owed taxes this year
The Republicans want women and girls to keep pumping out kids but they will not allow the child tax credit. So crazy. So women should get to work but the Republicans don’t want to pass child care. Again Republicans blame the inflation on the stimulus checks and child tax credit but really it is from price gouging from corporations
Joe Manchin is a glaring example of someone in power who is WAY out of touch with what is really going on.
No one cares, it’s bad butt , u will see more violence, cause much have to survive, and it dosent matter if the world dosent change, people have to live.
Republicans keep saying they are becoming the average worker party now this should be their issue. Where are you republicans??? All this is a prepayment of the child tax credit you file on your taxes. They did raise it also. It also made it fully refundable which it should be.. You have to work to get this anyway. If you work a low wage job you never got the whole thing which is wrong. This should be an issue tor the new Americans first Republican party.
What about people without kids who are struggling…where’s their bailout??? Everything is always for the breeders! Hey breeders if you need so much financial assistance then you obviously were not financially ready to have children! Breeders on here complaining about joe manchin…manchin did not get you pregnant so take some responsibility for your own actions! Having children is a choice and breeders should not be rewarded for having brats that they cannot take care of.
Exactly!!!! I couldn’t find a better way to say it.
If you need so much help to support a child, then don’t have it!!! The government is not responsible for their sucker mistakes
While your wording is harsh I understand your point of view. However you do understand that Americans are “breeding” less and less due to multiple reasons and in turn when this new generation grows up to work there will not be enough funds to give you social security or other benefits due to the lack of population??

But then a lot of people had to pay it back…they wasn’t able to qualify for the full tax return benefit because they owed more money to the government in the end.
Give back child tax credit, stop giving money to other countries like Ukraine. Americans need help first.
Yes agreed!!
And These payments definitely has helped me and my family especially W gas prices increases food higher|Daycare is high|Living expenses| rent|electricity then ever it’s inevitable😩
They should make it permanent it brings more cash flow and great for economy‼️
Then why do you keep voting Republican?
Of course when you take money from one person to another
Women need to start making better decisions about who they decide to allow impregnate them, and abortions need to be free. This is ridiculous
This lady has been struggling as a SINGLE mom for 24 YEARS!!!!!……..STOP HAVING BABIES you can’t afford!
Stop voting for manchin
Good for parents to receive money but don’t forget about the elderly and disabled citizen !!!!!
Stop having children you can’t support!!!!! It is always the “single mom” with multiple children by the same multiple number of “fathers”, one is a mistake, more is just stupidity.
It’s not someone else’s obligation to pick up the bill for your child. Stop being parasites!
Dont breed what you cant feed! No help for seniors but young women are rewarded for making bad decisions
They don’t get pregnant alone, Rewarded? Try overworked, underpaid, and looked down upon. I’m guessing you support a woman’s right to choose.
But they love sending our money to other countries!!
Another thing let’s really talk about the hidden racism here in dirty USA! If lower income white folks in southern states actually cared they could had been living the good life! SEE if ANYTHING that involved any people of color then they don’t want it! White folks would rather stay dirt poor then do share with people of color! Because at the end of the day they rather be poor and white, then to share smfh!
Vote!Vote!Vote!!!!!
Manchin is a hard-core Republicans.
When it comes to the issue of abortion, “pro-life” *Republicans have always been bedeviled by accusations of blatant hypocrisy. After all, the party routinely shuts down political efforts – like the child tax credit, universal school lunches, and tax-payer-supported childcare – that would make child-rearing much easier for the vast majority of Americans.* But now, with the Supreme Court on the precipice of overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling enshrining America’s constitutional right to abortion, Republicans have identified a new opportunity to signal their self-professed “pro-life” status: baby formula shortages.
Yeah it helped but made my financial situation worse and all my tax money gone. The rest of it went to school laptop car inspection. All my tax money gone. Thanks for that😡
Cause $300 would make somebody stop working? 🥴🥴😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you to Manchin for nothing not everyone is druggie.
Congress says the American child tax credit is ended and the Ukrainian tax credit is more important.
New study just shared with nbc News just nbc News come on fake study’s
It’s the GOP with Joe Manchin that are blocking the passage of the bill! VOTE THEM OUT!
Biden cares about the security of children. Republicans vote agains it. Trump cut off food stamps just to be cruel. West Virginia is the second poorest State in the Nation, yet Manchin is a multi-millionaire from his coal kickbacks. Vote him out!
Republicans vote against a living wag for Americans! When can make it on $7.00 per hour?
Billions and Billions of dollars to Ukraine and no help for the American People? Sounds about right
He need to lose his job that our money not the government money..
My citrus tree is all chewed up by a gogher
Please correct me but I believe the advanced tax credits is canceled but you will still receive it as a return next year?
well im screwed when im old, america will surely crumble within my lifetime
dont breed if you cant feed them folks and all these women getting abortions means i wont have any money coming from social security bc there wont be enough workers. so basically everytime they take that out of my check its for nothing. and pardon me if i am misunderstanding
We all need help..not only families but single people…I might not have kids that doesn’t mean things are less expensive for me…all my bills have gone up and I don’t receive any help!
Those payments literally carried my family through the pandemic. We used that money to put groceries in the fridge and gas in our tanks so we could still make it to work. Without those payments we would have been crushed.
Why dont they give out food vouchers and make it only for food.
We can’t afford to help struggling families in the US, we need that money to send to Ukraine for weapons, how else can these politicians make money from arms companies?
If they ban abortions, people will get them illegally. Just like guns.
Never got it cause of tax delayed
But of course they can fund a war
Keep voting Republicans and this is what you get….
Yeah he’s right some ppl are using the tax credit money on drugs, sorry behind so called baby daddy, clothing themselves and not the kids. Hmm 🤔 in SC the females here spend their food stamps on the drug dealer man child while there kids have to ( steel to live ) that’s what the lil kids mom teaches them 🥺😳🙄. You just can’t make this mess up. But the way I see it the government needs to help everyone because they are the ones jacking up these prices on food, gas and everything else. These are some sad times we are in. 🥺😞
Meanwhile Senator Manchin is worried ppl were buying drugs with an extra $300/month
No one is living high on the hog with an extra $300/month
I saved all the payments because I was positive I would have to pay it back. My refund this year was a couple hundred and that’s ok. But I know that for some families that literally saved them from hunger, going to the doctor, having a proper coat for winter. All this matters and kids need so much and they deserve it!!
Very sad time we live in…. a pandemic and inflation, but Ukraine can get billions for a war. No disrespect towards Ukraine. 😤
Now it is the Ukraine child tax credit. Government doesn’t care about our children.
Alabama took cares Money and restored beaches 6 million dollars, renovated the gulf state parks lodge 7 million dollars, my son and daughter work for 14$ and hour gas, 4$ gallon, rent went up 200 a month, so yeah. Companies took that money and bought furniture, trucks, the assisted living I work at bought 5 new TVs for residents common rooms, they spent 100,000 on dishwashers, refrigerators and new fryers for the kitchen. They spent 20,000 on new plates an they went up on the seniors rent 250$ a month. We got pandemic pay 150.00 separate on 3 checks that they taxed and all the kitchen staff quit. They still only pay them 8.50, it’s a cold political world out here.
America is a tax institution, not a country. It Taxes everything you do, buy and sell…..EVERYTHING
But they have billions for Ukraine.
WHAT DOES MANCHIN VOTE FOR?
He is truly a DISPICABLE HUMAN.
I HOPE THE CITIZENS OF WEST VIRGINIA VOTE HIM OUT!
Definitely helped my family get through.
26%? About 1 in 4? How is this successful? Can someone explain it to me?
Would this child have the best opportunities if he had 2 parents in the household?
Ok, we know the impact but now what??? Keep talking about it??? Do something about it??? Forget about it??? Keep waiting for it??? WHAT NOW???
Mid-terms are coming … Change is good ..
