This is the strategy chosen by the United States with its earned income tax credit.

Most observers now agree that Germany needs something like the American earned income tax credit.

Moreover, if the stimulus succeeds and leads to an early recovery, the additional income gained may more than offset the increase in debt.

The BCFB expenditure for fiscal year 2003 2004, including the BC Earned Income Benefit, was 132 million.

Indeed, even America s smaller welfare state seems aimed at the middle class more than at the poor, with the so called Earned Income Tax Credit being the biggest handout.

This includes expenditure on the BC Earned Income Benefit, child care, children's dental and optical benefits (Healthy Kids), social housing and early childhood and children at risk services.

Total personal income is a key value in calculating per capita income.

Low and middle income families will benefit from a notable increase in disposable income.

Household disposable income is about 60 of national income in China, and the household savings rate is close to 30 of disposable income.
