Ending child tax credit punishing poor families

Why is it that conservatives seem to be more concerned about rich people in the United States being allowed to hoard money than they are about poor families trying to feed their children?

Allowing the expanded child tax credit to die is just wrong in the richest country on Earth. If you want to expand the economy, allowing poor families to spend money on food, clothing and extras for their children puts money into local economies and helps everybody. Rich people storing money in tax-exempt havens and overpriced stocks does not move economies.

I believe we should use our wealth to help poor families feed, clothe and educate their children. That is how you make a great and prosperous country.
