You mentioned a lot of things but not the earned income tax credit. Is this a part of compassionate conservatism? I would presume, yes.

This credit puts about $30 billion per year in the pockets of low income workers. I think it is the biggest anti-poverty program today. The EITC provides an incentive for working unlike welfare. I've read that 23% of EIT credits go to blacks, 25% to Hispanics.
