Uh oh: Rubio and Lee want a smaller corporate tax cut so they can pay for bigger child tax credits

I'm becoming more convinced by the day that Marco Rubio doesn't really understand economic growth as the primary driver of tax policy, nor does he understand how markets work in general. Where Mike Lee got lost down this same path I'm not sure, but the two of them are making last-minute trouble as we near a Senate vote on tax reform, and they're possibly endangering the new plan's ability to really spur growth. Why? Because they're playing class warfare politics in the apparently belief that individual are hurt when businesses are helped. We already have 48 Democrats in the Senate who labor under this illusion. They don't need any help. But Rubio and Lee want to cut corporate taxes less so they can write checks to people who don't even pay any income tax. How is that pro-growth? It's not. It's the sort of thing Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi would want to do.
