Protecting Values

Many Indian Americans find it challenging to preserve a culture deeply rooted in family, tradition, religion, and education. Although recognizing that government’s role in this area is limited, the IACC is committed to helping sustain and strengthen these values.

Specifically, the IACC supports:

• Helping families with children by doubling the child tax credit to $1,000

• Raising academic standards and implementing other reforms to improve quality and accountability in America’s public schools

• Helping married couples by eliminating the marriage tax penalty

• Making college education more affordable by expanding tax deductibility for tuition payments

• Encouraging the American television and movie industry to produce more family-oriented, high-quality entertainment options
