Michael and Susan Dell donate nearly $10 billion to 'Trump accounts' for children

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : That's because wealthy families that can afford to make the maximum pre-tax contribution to the accounts will reap the greatest benefits.
58% : It allows parents to open tax-deferred investment accounts on behalf of their children under the age of 18. Account contributions must be invested in an index fund that tracks the overall stock market.
57% : They believe the government contribution will help combat the rising popularity of socialism and offer more people the opportunity to build wealth.
54% : "If the White House were serious about supporting families struggling with the costs of living, it would be advocating for investments in child care, an expanded Child Tax Credit, and undoing the historic cuts to SNAP and Medicaid.
52% : At 18 years old, account holders can withdraw money put into the tax-deferred investment accounts to put toward a house deposit, education or starting a small business.
52% : National Women's Law Center vice-president of income security and childcare Amy Matsui said the accounts would become "another tax shelter for the wealthiest".
37% : They also say the accounts do little to offset funding cuts made by the Trump administration to other programs like food assistance and Medicaid.
