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.

Can we deport Rubio?
What does bubble boy want now????.....................
More Free money for illegals....
Get out the bubbles Rubio file and remind him of what could be made public.
Here comes the charade.
“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.
little Marco...he must be wetting his pants over the number of liberal dem voters (displaced Puerto Rican) entering Florida....he is such a lite weight and obvious suck to the PC left.
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!
Foam boy wants unlimited foam.
Call that little @sshole’s office in DC RIGHT NOW, 202-234-3041. Tell him he’d better not spoil this GOOD tax bill, and if he votes no, he will be the target of extreme political retribution-—EXTREME!!
And Liddle Marco was put in charge...when??
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.
Biggest trouble with a pile of cat poop is that the smell remains no matter how much cleaning occurs...
GOP FAIL TRAIN INCOMING! CHOO CHOO!
I’d pay good money for the chance to smack the crap out of this bubbly little freak.
SoLittle Marco is at it again...if he thinks his obstructionist attitude is going to get him a nomination in 2020....well, Vaya Con Dios, Muchacha!
