Tax Policy and Family Struggles

This chapter explores the complexities of tax policy, particularly its impact on wealth inequality and systemic issues within the tax code. It highlights the journey of a young girl named Dasani, reflecting on the struggles of homelessness and child poverty in New York City, while addressing the disproportionate effects of such challenges on Black and brown families.
