1. In order to make any changes, we need to win.

2. In order to win, we need to concentrate on avoiding a "tax and spend" label.

3. If the goal is to end poverty, the Biden Child Tax Credit is feasible. https://www.whitehouse.gov/child-tax-credit/

Biden wasn't able to get the 2021 version, The American Rescue Plan Act expands the child tax credit for tax year 2021. The maximum credit amount has increased to $3,000 per qualifying child between ages 6 and 17 and $3,600 per qualifying child under age 6.

*$250 per month for each qualifying child age 6 to 17 at the end of 2021.

*$300 per month for each qualifying child under age 6 at the end of 2021.

It was fully refundable, meaning a taxpayer could have claimed the credit even if you don't have earned income or don't owe any income taxes.

Would renewal of the 2021 version increase corporate tax revenue? Individual tax?

Would a renewal of the 2021 version attract swing voters and MAGATs. Can't find any data.

4. Does elimination of legalized bribery have any effect on voting?

5. What is more efficient: increasing the rate to 52% or elimination of capital gains?

6. Biden wins if he outs price fixers and price gougers.
