Sen. Marco Rubio thinks the GOP tax plan helps corporations too much
Sen. Marco Rubio says the GOP tax plan "probably" helps corporations too much.
In an interview with a Florida newspaper, Rubio says corporations will likely use their tax cuts for buybacks and dividends.
That "isn't going to create dramatic economic growth."

Sen. Marco Rubio says the GOP "probably went too far" in slashing the tax burden on corporations.

The Florida Republican told the News-Press of Fort Myers that corporations will largely use their major tax cut to buy back shares or increase dividends to shareholders — which "isn't going to create dramatic economic growth."

"If I were king for a day, this tax bill would have looked different. I thought we probably went too far on (helping) corporations," Rubio told the newspaper in the interview published Friday. "By and large, you're going to see a lot of these multinationals buy back shares to drive up the price. Some of them will be forced, because they're sitting on historic levels of cash, to pay out dividends to shareholders."

"That isn't going to create dramatic economic growth. (But) there's a lot of things in the bill that I have supported for a long time (such as) doubling the Child Tax Credit. And it is better — significantly better — than the current code," he continued.

The tax plan that President Donald Trump signed into law last week permanently chops the corporate tax to 21 percent from 35 percent. Republicans say the change — which starts Monday — will drive domestic investment, boost wages and fuel economic growth over time.

At least a dozen companies — including mammoth employers like AT&T and Boeing — announced plans to raise their minimum wages, increase capital investment or hand out employee bonuses after the plan's passage. While Republicans have cheered those announcements, some critics of the corporate tax cut have maintained most of those benefits will likely go to shareholders rather than workers.

Rubio, who sought the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, supported both the Senate GOP's tax bill and a joint House and Senate version that the president signed. He pushed first for a doubling of the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000, then for increasing the refundable portion of that credit to $1,400.

During the Senate tax debate, Rubio proposed expanding the credit and paying for it by cutting the corporate tax rate by less than the GOP initially intended.

He’s not the president, for this and other reasons.

Who cares what the little mouse thinks?

What a lying traitor, at the least, to his own party!

He'll be proven very wrong within a year, and have to eat his words.

Little Marco needs to go away.
With all the other repub-low-craps that think the way he does.

Marco Rubio needs to be beat with a rubber hose every day until he changes his tune. There shouldn't be ANY corporate tax, and personal income tax should be around 5%, maybe impose import tariffs on all goods from Communist China - let Congress adjust their budget to the resulting income and not run a deficit budget ever again.

He is just pimping for latino votes in the next election.

This is precisely the problem. Marco wants to be King not President.

You can take the socialist latino out of the banana republic, but you can't take the banana republic out of the socialiist latino.

Yep, he surely do. Voted against him last election and will continue to do so. Talks a lot, thinks rarely.

He can join the ranks of losers.

Hillary, McCain, Romney, etc.

he will say any thing to be in the news

The corporate tax rate should be zero.

They don't pay them, customers do.

he talks like a silver tongued devil. he also caters/plays to his base. he's not tone deaf.

He's a slick debater but he is pretty light. The guy lost my respect over the gang of eight fiasco. Since then he has just pimped for whatever he thought he could get by on.

Who, you mean that little Cuban

There was a time when many people dreamed of little Marco as POTUS.

I never could stand the smarmy little prick and still don’t GAF what he “thinks”.

Rubio has been going downhill for a while now. His policy positions seem to be tailored to get as much popular appeal as possible without much in the way of core beliefs. For sure he doesn't like Trump. He's a slick politician and I definitely don't trust him.
