Why is everyone pretending that Americans don’t have children. Conservative families have more kids than Liberals.

Right? People think this is just about illegals. I have 4 kids. Stand strong Marco!

Little Rubio is outing himself again as a political hack; that’s my opinion.

All the political hacks are outing themselves and have been since President Trump announced his intention to run. Now, We The People have to make sure these hacks are exposed and defeated. Taking the turds out of the DC sewer so to speak.

Little Marco is going for increasing REFUNDABLE tax credits. “Refundable” (like “Net Neutrality” a Big Brother speak term) is giving filers money ABOVE AND BEYOND the income taxes they had withheld from their paychecks. In other words “refund” money to them that they never paid. It’s like going into a store and getting a refund for a $100 purchase you made and they hand over to you $2,000.00 in cash — the $100 that you paid (e.g., was withheld by your employer) and $1,900.00 that the store takes from other customers (taxes actually paid by other taxpayers). Nice gig/scam if you can get it.

And, of course, it’s $2,000.00 PER CHILD/ANCHOR BABY). Is there no friggin’ end to the amount we pay the invaders?

Finally and yes, you deserve to keep more of YOUR hard earned money for your family.. Tunnel vision ideology focused on punishing illegals and welfare recipients that abuse the system shouldn’t also rip off and deprive hard working American’s who play by the rules.
Fix the broken systems and pass a tax bill that lets citizens hold onto their own money instead of feeding it to the leviathan federal government.

Happy Holidays to you, your family, and your children!

Marco is talking about REFUNDABLE credits. That is refunding of taxes paid that we’re not actually paid.

By the way, I want YOU and other responsible LEGAL American taxpayers to have MORE kids. And I want you to get the tax credit for each and every one of those kids AS LONG AS THE TOTAL CREDITS DON’T EXCEED THE TAXES YOU OWE.

Rubio’s “patriotic” statements during the campaign are belied by his actual actions. His loyalty is to Hispanics, not to America. The child tax credit is fraught with corruption and misuse, a lot by illegals. To support expanding it just gives more funds to illegals and other Hispanics. Like so many programs whose origins are good, this tax credit has become just another form of abused welfare. Rubio is pathetic.

I understand but we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Those systems are broken and need to be fixed. I am taxed over and beyond many tens of thousands and letting me keep $6,000 for my children’s benefit is in no way depriving anyone else.
Don’t punish EVERYONE because some people have broken the law. Reform welfare and get the illegals OUT! Don’t use the tax bill to punish all families.

Don’t you have kids? Or have family trying to raise children? This could help everyone including all Americans who chose LIFE over PP.

This guy is a Communist.

A scumbag Communist.

Given the immense damage he has (attempted) to inflict on this nation it must be considered that he is a Castro-agent. No one else could be this deliberately stupid, this is treason

Sorry, but you simply don’t understand the “issue” Little Marco wants to foist on us. WITHOUT Little Marco’s change included you’ll get your $6,000 reduction (2K per child) in the taxes you have to pay. He’s not the originator of the credit. Little Marco wants to give “refunds” for taxes not paid and not limited to the reduction of taxes otherwise “due”.

I’ve had my share of kids And would have even more if my wife was willing — which she is not. And the first “wave” of my kids are giving us grandchildren.

Please study this issue a little more to increase your understanding of it.

“full-throated conservative?”

He is full throated conservative. The problem is he is not one to take action on conservative issues :-). He’s “full action” amnesty and wants a working slave wage class here in the USA for his own greedy needs.

Anyone can talk like a “full throated” conservative. Liberals in purple states do it all of the time. It’s the votes and actions that count.

So, yes, Little Marco is a “Full Throated” conservative :-). In some languages, he’s also called a “Fulluvshite” conservative :-).

I understand it perfectly well and have a friendly disagreement with you sir. Your taxes won’t be going up any more if this is included in the bill. Hard working families would simply have to pay less to the greedy government. It is clear and easy to understand that some Conservatives are arguing that the government keeps more tax dollars rather than giving them back to those who earned the money, in my case.

Nope.

Collins, Snow, McStain, Flake, Corker, Marco; any two of those 6 say “Nah” after they tell McTurtle they are on board and no tax bill for this year.

They GOPe wing of the Uniparty WANTS to be able to say Trump is 0-fer 2017. They’ll use that 0-fer to make sure us riff-raff that actually vote don’t start getting delusions of grandeur that we actually matter. Because in their world...

None of us do.

Unless you can put 7 figures in their pet PAC or put their smiling face next to your smiling face on the next MSM puff piece.

And I will not only remember this little snot, but all 534 of the other whores that slime up Capitol Hill.

The child tax credit is not the EIT credit. The child tax credit includes practically everyone with children under 18.

“The child tax credit is not the EIT credit. “

The ONLY, and I do mean ONLY difference is income level.

The original of EITC was the extension of the Child Tax Credit to those who pay no taxes.

That is literally the only difference.
