If the simple explanation is a loss of childcare credit, why wouldn't he say so? Does he think that making such a statement [a "stretch", as you call it] earns support for his tax plan? I was confused by the statement. If he were talking about reforming the childcare credit so as to preserve incentives for the working poor, that would be fine. But he is clearly trying to sell me a more regressive tax package while seemingly benefiting a certain waitress. This strains credulity.
