(Jacquelyn Martin/AP)Democrats frequently claim Republicans' corporate tax cuts enriched big businesses while doing little for workers, but now that line of criticism is coming from a prominent Republican: Sen. Marco Rubio. Nonpartisan experts were skeptical about the claim, and independent analyses say the bulk of the law's tax cuts would go to the wealthy. "Rubio pushed for a better balance in the tax law between tax cuts for big businesses and families, as he’s done for years," Perez-Cubas in an email. During the tax debate, Rubio also voiced skepticism about the possible benefits of the corporate tax cut, saying the tax package had to do more to protect lower-income families. He argued for a more generous benefit system and paid-family-leave program, as he also touted the more robust child tax credit he pushed during the GOP tax debate.
