Rubio, Lee Reaffirm Commitment to Child Tax Credit Expansion | 2017-12-01 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Republican | House | UT | Mike Lee | L000577 | www.lee.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON – Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL.) and Mike Lee (R-UT) today reaffirmed their commitment to expanding access to the child tax credit in the Senate tax reform bill. “Our amendment would make a small change in this bill, but a huge difference in the lives of working families,” Senator Lee said. "We need pro-growth and pro-worker tax reform, and that’s what this amendment aims to do by allowing working families to keep more of their own hard-earned money,” Senator Rubio said. Both senators added: “Currently, our amendment would offset the additional middle class relief with a slight increase in the corporate tax rate. We support that pay-for and believe it gives our amendment a good chance to pass on the floor with bipartisan support. But as we have said all along, we are open to alternative offsets that would preserve the 20% corporate rate, which we support as much as our Republican colleagues. We continue to welcome any effort by Finance Committee members and Republican leaders to help us identify other pay-fors to offset an expansion of the child credit.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
