Yeah, they do. I've thought this for... years. But I've never actually put it to words. Now that I have, I feel like a self interested asshole. But I'm capable of change.

And that said, CCB seems like a pretty good system. It makes me think of earned income tax credit here. Not the same thing, but it's fairly sizable tax credits for those with low income and dependents.
