Nadler wants to ease tax burden on large families
In the 2003 movie “Cheaper by the Dozen,” Steve Martin played the hapless father of 12 children and had audiences laughing in the aisles. But in real life, many families with a lot of children struggle financially, according to US Rep. Jerrold Nadler.
Parents who have a lot of children should be getting a bigger tax break from Uncle Sam, Nadler said. The congressman has introduced a bill that he said will help large families cope with the high costs of living.
The Tax Fairness for All Families Act of 2013 would provide an increasingly larger Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for families with more than three children.
