BALLENOa. and Mr. HUTcHNSON. It reads as follows: We will be introducing legislation which would accomplish the goal of helping Americas working families. while avoiding the economic pitfalls associated with a minimum wage increase. "The Minimum Wage for Families Act" would fundamentally redesign the Earn Income Tax Credit (ERIC) by: converting the large annual lump sum E1TC payments into monthly payments so as to more practically supplement family income. by denying credit to undocumented workers. by eliminating credit for childless adults. by increasing the support credit for parents. by renaming the EITC the Working Families Support Credit. If you believe that those people who are in need of wage assistance are Americas working families. as opposed to teenagers employed during their summer vacation. please Join us in support of this proposal. This is a proposal coming from the Republican side.
