I've got high hopes for Moore. Really hope he keeps his promises to invest in education.

Since the $15 minimum wage campaign started back in 2012 we have seen a total of 30% inflation. So $1 then is $1.30 now. Or $15 then is $20 now.

This should be a fight for a $20 minimum wage indexed to inflation, not $15.

It's a tax credit. Which means it can be used to offset a liability. In order to benefit, recipients will need income already. And they can only receive money paid in taxes.

Some tax credits are refundable so an individual can receive more from the income tax system than they put in. This is one of those cases from a quick reading of the article.
