Certainly anything we can do to increase the incomes of low-income families I think is a good thing.
The broader point, though, is that very micro-targeted measures on discrete populations in the absence of a comprehensive approach is likely to yield, at best, very minor benefits. And I'm not an expert on this, but I believe the evidence so far is that the take-up on these kinds of tax credits is in fact not by those who they are ostensibly meant to help. It's more the middle-income and upper-income households that may benefit from these tax credits. So that further increases the inequity in our society. One of the real intersects around the issue of poverty is the growing inequality we have in this country, and this is increasingly being recognized by many organizations.
So again, we would urge a more comprehensive approach to helping low-income families and individuals and coming to realize that the evidence as well shows that nations that are prepared to invest more strongly in social development and their social security, which may require more taxation overall, actually have stronger economic performance and have stronger social and economic indicators. There's a whole wide range of indicators, and the evidence shows they perform more strongly than countries with lower tax regimes.
