My wife is pregnant with our fourth. The child tax credit helps out immensely, allowing her to stay at home and raise our kids while I bring home a paycheck.
I called Rubio's office and thanked him for standing up for working Americans. I'm glad he was successful on this.
We need to encourage American nuclear families to have more children and American wives to be stay-at-home moms to raise them. This is the only arrangement that has ever worked.
And anyone who wants to call me a freeloader for claiming the CTC, I'll kindly remind them having kids ain't cheap. Over the long haul I'll be paying plenty of taxes.
The tax bill prepared by the House would NOT have prevented you and your family from obtaining the tax credit. It was prepared by Congress with U.S. citizens as the intended recipients. What Rubio did in the Senate version was to EXTEND the entitlement to ILLEGAL ALIEN parents who do NOT have valid SSN numbers to also take the credit based on the existence of “anchor baby” children who, through misreadings by the courts of Section 1 of Article 14 of the U.S. Constitution, have been and are granted automatic U.S. citizenship and valid SSN numbers. These numbers are ALL that the Senate version of the Bill requires for the tax credit application to be submitted and approved. This is WRONG on so many levels. No one on this thread is opposed to the tax credit being taken by valid U.S citizens.
