Senate GOP leadership is staying away from a proposal to ensure illegal immigrants don’t get tax break payouts from the government, with the party still smarting from a battle over Department of Homeland Security funding.
Senior Republicans generally say they support the goals of the bill from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that seeks to keep immigrants protected from deportation by President Obama’s executive actions from claiming several years’ worth of earned income tax credits.
But with the most recent immigration fight having just finished, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has said he’s still examining the legislation, and even GOP leaders who openly back the measure say now is not the right time to push hard for the measure. “It’s more of a longer-term project,” said Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (Texas), one of the 10 GOP co-sponsors of the bill.

Never mistake collaboration for surrender. The fact that the RINOs are liberal is just too transparent now.
It’s UFB.
Can anyone in the World apply for and get these tax break payouts ?
Every time they want their taxes lowered we supported them(myself included). No more, The country clubbers sell out they shell out. we should hit them where it counts raise their taxes. If that doesn’t bring them around then raise them again and again.
The White Flag Party.
The Vichy Republicans strike again. But you know we had to have them in control of the Congress of the world would have ended in November. Unfortunately we still have several conservatives who naively believe their beloved Republicans would never betray them to the enemy.
They couldn’t do a better job for Hussein if they were rats, that’s for sure.
GOP & DUMS are on the same side to gain POWER. Forget them.
VOTE LIBERTARIAN!
God Bless America!
The RINOs will cave if they already didn’t have secret meetings with the Ears.
“No more, The country clubbers sell out they shell out. we should hit them where it counts raise their taxes. If that doesn’t bring them around then raise them again and again.”
The only taxes that will hurt the 1% are 1) an intangibles tax, 2) wealth/assets tax, 3) tax capital gains and carried interest at ordinary income rates.
In the early days of the Republic most wealth was in land, hence property taxes. Today the wealthiest Americans (the 1%) hold their wealth in securities (intangible assets). In addition, many of the wealthiest on Wall Street and in private equity are able to structure their earnings as carried interest and capital gains, not ordinary income.
Since most of the wealthy seem to be funding the destruction of the Republic, perhaps it is time to divert some the assets they use to support progressive organizations to the public treasury. After all, it is only “fair”.
Most of the Senate GOP is owned by the Cheap Labor Express.
Amnesty is all they want.
The RNC will do whatever it takes to make Jeb Buush the GOP nominee.
The Libertarian Party are Libertarians for socialism, supporting open borders even with a welfare state, and multiculturalism. They are worse than the GOP traitors because they are truly deluded believers.
I am not sure those are the taxes I would raise on them. But, it is nice to see someone else here is on the same page.
