marcorubio GOP This bill will only encourage more cash hoarding by public companies. It'll also spur more acquisitions and M&A activity which leads to oligopolies and crushes competition. Solution is to abolish taxing dividends and then actually tax capital gains timely.

from the guy who got rick from kick backs....what the hell

Let's just say he did not think about it early enough

This would be a good first step in reigning in the obscene compensation CEOs award themselves through stock buybacks. Surprised this is coming from Rubio. He is nothing but a sock puppet.

Would you take a ruby over Rubio? I rest my case! don't screw the taxes up anymore than they are!

Rubio Rubio Where Art Thou o Rubio we need to do (both) this is capitalism at its finest ! only in America! The trouble with the way people think, they need the ad and make things better, not take away and make things worse !

You mean like the Trump and Bush (43) tax plans. Hey senator, thanks for Chiming in. Where were you 24 months ago. GOPbankruptingamerica GOPscrewingthemiddleclass rubiogothisscheckles

They arw rewarding market makers. Thats all, the stock tanks after they are done and the shareholders get the empty bag. Buybacks are a scam for Wall Street banksters to get richer...to bad its all over now because rates are going up.

Sorry pal, you own this tax law and all that it does (not do). Trying to introduce something now that you know will go nowhere, just so you can say “you tried” on your next campaign trail isn’t going to work

As if they are going to do the right thing.

A Republican with a good idea! I didn’t see that one coming 😳

GOP Sen Marco Rubio takes aim at stock buybacks, an issue under attack by DemocratsSenator Marco Rubio is out with a new proposal aimed at changing the incentive to buy back stock in the first place as Democrats call for restricting corporate share buybacks. Sounds like he might want to challenge realDonaldTrump for the nomination... this proposal has good center-left support. Let’s see the details, but could be promising. My only problem with 'buybacks' is during the QE cheap money was used to create collateralized debt obligations to buy back shares on credit while pumping stock prices through increased demand. Some of these companies are questionable & opaque, exposing us all to risk.

Sen. Rubio backs a new proposal to tackle one of Democrats' favorite talking pointsSen. Marco Rubio is the chairman of the Small Business Committee, which is releasing a report on the issue. It argues more equal rates would remove companies' incentives to buy back stock in the first place. You’re moving a little too left for me and I’m your constituent. Just reduce taxes on dividends. Liquidity of stocks is part of their intrinsic value. Reduce liquidity: reduce value. Taxing dividends is essentially double taxation of income previously taxed. Rubio must have some Castro in his DNA.
