You take care of your children. I dont want to take care of your children except for primary education and the military to protect them from illegal aliens and invaders. Your children are YOUR responsibility.

He wants an increase in the Earned Income Tax Credit or he will vote no. And the rest of the Republicans will give it to him. And millions of illegals who pay NO taxes will get thousands in refunds while millions of Americans will see a tax increase. Who on the forum supports this? How is it possible for a conservative to support this?

All logic and Conservative principles went off the rails concerning the GOPe Tax Bill a long time ago. This bill already raises taxes for millions of middle class Americans. Now they want to use more of our money to shovel out goodies to Gibsmedats and Takers. And many here will ignore the poison and say, “Thanks honey, it’s delicious.”

Conservatives pay for their own kids.

The Child Tax Credit is a direct expenditure from the treasury (other people’s money) to those who have kids.

Worse, it gave birth to a complete monstrosity called the EITC which pays people to have kids who have never paid a dime of income tax in their lives...directly from revenues collected from somebody else.

A last resort option is for the House to accept the Senate version and send it to the President for signature

I’m fine with increasing the tax credit provided there are mechanisms in the legislation that guarantee that no one who is in the U.S. illegally gets it or any other money from the government.

Are you fine increasing your own taxes, substantially even, to “pay” for this expanded credit?

If so, how much?

“No way their poodle Little Marco will really vote against it.”

He won’t have to.

Republicans will give him everything he asks for.

It’s the WAY Rubio wants to change the Child Credit. If you PAY TAXES, and have Kids, you can take the credit ($2000 per child). Rubio wants to give $2000 per child EVEN IF THEY DON’T PAY TAXES ON EARNINGS !!!

Exactly. It isn’t a “tax credit.” It is welfare. It is also one of the biggest tax scam frauds in US history. Bill Clinton expanded EITC for the Takers, and during Barry Soetoro’s reign of terror, the IRS would not even check to see if illegals claims were fraudulent. Billions and billions went to scammers, and still do.

Hence, illegals claimed “children” they didn’t have, even claiming nephews and nieces in Mexico.

But the GOPe will fold, and give Rubio more of our money. McCain is in Walter Reed - so I don’t know if he can be counted on for another Yes vote.

"Tax cuts will fail at the hands of Republicans."

And McCain will rise from his death bed to cast his final thumbs down to kill the bill. He hates Trump that much.

I wonder if Rush still thinks Little Marco is a “full-throated conservative?” That’s what Rush called Rubio during the primary season in 2016.

The only time Rubio has been a “full-throated” anything is when he hooked up with another dude at a foam party.

Rubio was calling for legislative amnesty of illegals back when they thought they could swing it.
He’s The Crying Game trannie.

Rubio, McCain, Flake, etc. all Trump haters. With the slim margin in the Senate, these a$$holes will make demands that could unravel the consensus. They hate Trump so much that they will not give him any kind of victory.
