Senate Bill also Repeals Obamacare Mandate and allows 509s for Privates schools (K-12)

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has threatened to vote against the tax bill, putting the legislation in danger of being delayed past Christmas.
Rubio has told Senate leaders that he will vote against the bill unless the child tax credit is made more generous to help lower-income workers who pay payroll taxes and not regular income taxes.
“Sen. Rubio has consistently communicated to the Senate tax negotiators that his vote on final passage would depend on whether the refundability of the Child Tax Credit was increased in a meaningful way,” said a spokesperson for Rubio.
If Rubio votes against the bill, Republicans can only lose one other lawmaker if they hope to pass the final bill that emerges from a House-Senate conference. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) previously voted against the Senate tax bill because it would add $1.5 billion to the deficit, and no Democrats support it.
Corker has not ruled out voting for the final conference report, though he suggested his concerns have not changed.

Not mine, just yours, and by as much as needed.
The worst part about the child credit is that no proof is required that the child exists.
I am and am also overburdened with onerous taxes already. I want something back. Sorry we don’t all have silver spoons in our mouths.
Tool!!
>>child tax credit is made more generous to help lower-income workers who pay payroll taxes and not regular income taxes.
IOW, welfare disguised as taxes. FU Little Marco.

That’s ridiculous, I pay SO MUCH in taxes that it’s not a bad thing to keep a little more of it. Get the illegals out and Americans who don’t abort their babies get to keep a little more.
Is everyone on here Rich and Old?
If we had real leaders in the Republican party Corker and Rubio would get phone calls saying “Would you like to join Franken? We have the goods on you. Who do you think dropped the dime on Franken? You best get with the program”. Bottom line is they’re dirty. They’re all dirty. Let them know you know.
Actually that might kill it, depending on when they vote. With McCain in the hospital this would make 50 votes against and 49 for. No need for Pence to come back and break a tie.
In the Senate bill, they need to provide a SS#, so that helps a bit ...
Well said.That is my point in addition to at least showing the Pro-abort crowd that some people celebrate the idea of LIFE and helping American families with children keep more of their hard earned money. I don’t want YOUR money, I want to keep more of what I MAKE.
McCain said today they will wheel him in to vote - he will be there ...
Watch how donations to the RNC disappear faster than emails on Hillary’s server. The Republican Party is dead to me.
You’re wrong and many American families who the government rips off just get to keep more of their own hard earned money. Don’t punish Americans with taxes because the immigration and welfare system is broken. Such tunnel vision.
“Not mine, just yours, and by as much as needed.”
Of course.
That is the position of all hypocrites and Social Justice Warriors.
Rubio is such a rube-io.
“Get the illegals out and Americans who don’t abort their babies get to keep a little more.”
OK, go get that done.
Everyone wants more money in their own pockets.
Well in this case lets hope you are right, for whatever reason.
