“...You don’t mention the family tax credit, which I believe was added by Rubio....”
*************************************
No, the poster didn’t mention the $2,000 per child tax credit. But Rubio was NOT responsible for the tax legislation having the $2,000 credit. What Rubio did was hold his breath & throw a temper tantrum until the conferees agreed to increase the percentage of that $2,000 credit that could be “refundable” to tax filers who actually pay no taxes.

The term “refundable” for describing money to be given to people who didn’t pay in the money to begin with is a statist trick. You can’t be “refunded” money you never paid in. It’s welfare, pure and simple.
