34. Well, it's a tax credit for dependent minors and not a tax credit for offspring regardless of age

If you want to make a case for other types of stimulus or government tax credits, have at it. This is a targeted tax credit with specific criteria. People need to look at this tax credit as being for the greater good even if they don’t qualify for it. Instead people seem to have sour grapes about being excluded almost to the point of nobody should receive this tax credit if they don’t receive it. I don’t qualify for this tax credit and I think this credit is great. In fact, we should be doing more to help parents with dependent minors.
