Rubio was first elected as a Tea Party candidate. He is one of a long line of politicians running as a conservative and then betraying the base once in office.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........

This bass turd always reminded me of the smarmy high school know-it-all kid who ran for class president, and started showing up to school each day in a jacket and tie.

The last thing I would want is to have my name connected in any way with Putz Schumer.

Rubio used the camoflage of a Tea Party candidate to get elected, but he was always Cheap Labor Express stooge.

They sold us Rubio to get the final amnesty that would be the end of the Republic and the culmination of the Bush Plan for North Mexico.

The child tax credit is a credit not a refund, no? So people already get the money. Most people already get more back than what they put into social security, leave it alone.

Rubio and Schumer - slow walking over time the movement of funding social security to 100% from general tax revenues. Rubio is no Conservative.

They want to make the credit refundable up to a person’s payroll tax liability, among other expensive tweaks

Those morons in Congress just can't stop playing games with the SS fund. Unless major changes are made in the program, the people paying SS payroll taxes today will justifiably expect SS benefits when they require. So, why not stop playing games with the program and leave it alone until there is some overall reform that strengthens it rather than weakening it further.

Little Marco should be slapped in public for associating himself with this latest attempted raid on SS funding.

Jeez, Marco. Didn't you learn anything from your last partnering with Slimeball Schumer?

More destructive is his increase in the corporate tax rate, which is the most pro-growth plank in the bill and could significantly increase what Americans earn since much of the tax falls on labor.

While I don't believe for a moment that the tax bill would do squat to increase what Americans earn, this amendment strikes me as a poison pill designed to make the bill unpalatable to those pushing for lower business taxes.

And they are willing to raise taxes on lifelong Republicans to pay welfare mothers that will never vote conservative.

Got it.

If Rubio thinks hanging with Schumer is a good idea then he’s as stupid as Captain Underpants Conyers

We need a new word for “refundable.” There cannot be a refund for money not paid out in the first place. It is a form of welfare. PDJT is good with words. Maybe when he turns to welfare reform he will come up with a good title.

+Thankfully Rubio was exposed in the last presidential primary. To think Mike Lee’s named was bandied about as a SCOTUS is unbelievable. These two are nothing more than RINO/democRATS!

For those of us with more than 2 kids, this is an improvement. Kudos to Senator Rubio for standing up for big families!

So instead his back-door plan is to expand a refundable credit, which delivers checks to folks who owe no federal income tax.

Indeed, it does. But those folks are raising the next generation of Americans and are getting killed trying to cope soaring medical insurance costs, local taxes, and education costs. This is a way to help those who are in the middle class and would otherwise worse off after the tax bill.

The proposal is good, provided it is offset by total elimination of the fraud plagued EITC and changing the eligibility for welfare programs (SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, food stamps, etc.)

Currently we penalize work and reward healthy welfare recipients. We need to reverse that.

Whichever way accomplishes the goal is fine with me. The less complex way would seem ideal. But we are talking government here and have to deal with reality.

I hate the tax credit...

The vast majority of people who claim it don’t pay enought taxes to cover the credit...

So if you have three children you get $6,000 tax credit...

How many people pay 6K in taxes per year...

It’s a gift out of my pocket...

I wrote to him today, citing this article, and told him that he has officially become the man he campaigned against in 2010. Charlie Crist
