Marco Rubio threatens to vote against the GOP tax bill unless leaders meet demands.

Sen. Marco Rubio on Thursday said he will vote against the final GOP tax bill unless leaders meet his demands on the child tax credit.

Rubio told Republican leadership that he will not vote for the bill — the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) — unless the child tax credit is more generous.

"Senator Rubio has consistently communicated to the Senate tax negotiators that his vote on final passage would depend on whether the refundability of the Child Tax Credit was increased in a meaningful way," a Rubio spokesperson told Business Insider.

Rubio introduced an amendment during the first Senate vote on the TCJA that would have made the credit deductible up to the payroll tax level. The move would have made the credit more generous for many low-income families. The amendment was defeated.

The TCJA is currently being debated by a conference committee to resolve the differences between the versions of the bill passed in the House and Senate.

“refundability of the Child Tax Credit”

You are kidding me right? He basically is asking for a handout for folks who’s tax bill is less than the Child Tax Credit?????

So if you have lots of kids, you get a check from the government once a year to subsidize you? Above and beyond any social welfare programs that already exist providing you help?

Rubio is a turd.

I personally don’t think payroll taxes should be refundable through the child credit but the amount has to meniscal in the grand scheme of things.

With jobs growth and wage growth tax reform could generate, the impact well be even smaller.

Just do it!

This is the start - it’s a fallout of Roy Moore losing. Every Senator’s vote is now vital to passage of anything, so the GOPe will now control the Trump agenda.

Nope, they will take turns blocking Trumps agenda. If not rubio, collins. If not collins somebody else will block it. Unless something changes in our favor in the next election, Trump has been sidelined as far as legislation goes.
