Rubio Says U.S. Workers Get Little Benefit from Tax "Reform"

[Ohiogal]

“There is still a lot of thinking on the right that if big corporations are happy, they’re going to take the money they’re saving and reinvest it in American workers,” Rubio said in the interview published Thursday.

“In fact they bought back shares, a few gave out bonuses; there’s no evidence whatsoever that the money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”

THEN WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR IT, YOU ASSHOLE!

1. Kind of remarkable

There is understandable frustration with the rubber stamp repubs who may voice concerns but still vote for every bad bill. But it is still remarkable that a Repub senator would be so frank about it because it counters the propaganda that was used in support for the bill. Maybe he's only feeling the heat and he might be worried about his chances in the future.

2. Tax cuts for the rich are stupid

3. Little Marco's duff must look like a lumberyard...

It’s loaded down with splinters and planks from all that fence-straddling.

4. Sounds like now he is posturing to claim he didn't know it was a scam when

he voted for it. What colossal poop. He had to vote for it to pay off his large campaign contributors. Anyone with a functioning brain knew very well that these corporations had no intention of sharing the wealth with their employees. He's a thief like the rest of them and makes me sick. Not sure why he doesn't just lie like the rest of them who tell people they will be better off when they know they won't. Hope someone got a recording of him saying this that we can play in ads in the upcoming mid terms.
