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?
Good Point - Rubio needs to play ‘Identity Politics’ to survive I guess ...
You don’t have kids? This will certainly help me. Times are tough after 8 years of Obama’s ripoffs.
Get the ILLEGALs the hell out of here! That’s a separate issue and this will help many hard working American families.
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.”
Your third sentence explains why this is a such a priority for "Gang of Five" Rubio. With the exception of McCain, Rubio is one of the worst Republicans in the Senate on immigration.
Let's call EIC's what they really are: welfare. They aren't a tax cut, they're a handout. Sadly, people like Rubio create a lose-lose situation for the more sensible Senate Republicans. Either they cave and give him what he wants, or we get no tax cut at all.
Where’s the tax credit for those of us who don’t have children
The child tax credit is not the EIT credit. The child tax credit includes practically everyone with children under 18.
“How is it possible for a conservative to support this?”
Rubio is no conservative. A tax refund to people who don’t pay taxes is just redistribution, communism. The fact that it will go to the illegals that Rubio loves is traitorous. Since when have Republicans stood for redistribution?
I am very unhappy with this tax bill. I own a service company that does web design and web hosting and we will not see a tax cut. In actuality we probably will see a tax increase. I am tired of these people not supporting the people that elected them and I do not know what recourse we have.
Trump PROMISED the pastors and their congregations that the Johnson amendment would be done away with, the Christians came out in droves for Trump YET this was NOT in the bill VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!!
