Sarah Creasor discussion 3

Going back to the reading a lot of this chapter had to do with taxes, which went over my head. I got the idea though that there were research and projects done to reduce poverty through taxes by doing different things such as, ‘boosting local economic activity, increasing the number of local kids attending schools’. There was also help for the lower income communities by lending loans. Programs also are helping but they can only do so much.  The BCC program helps those struggling to keep their home. These communities are usually the ones abandoned and run down. Another program that is very helpful is the EITC. Earned Income Tax Credit. That program has been the most helpful of all to those living in poverty.  


What does BCC stand for?
