The earned income tax credit, or EITC, exists to offer tax relief to low income working families. The goal is that the credit will be funneled back into the economy.

Xavier Ramey of United Way breaks through the politics and explains the effect of the credit on the economy. (Photo: Flickr/agrilifetoday)
