Rubio voted against Inflation Reduction Act after taking millions from corporate special interests
Today, Marco Rubio sold out American workers and families in order to curry favor with his corporate special interest backers. After taking $5.8 million from Big Pharma, Big Oil and other corporate special interests, he voted against the Inflation Reduction Act that would help millions of Florida workers.
The bill:
- Lowers prescription drug and health care costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices and extending Affordable Care Act benefits to millions of Americans.
- Forces Billionaires and Big Corporations to Pay What they Owe by closing tax loopholes, ensuring big corporations pay taxes at a minimum what small businesses do and strengthening IRS enforcement so billionaires and corporations can’t cheat on their taxes.
- Makes Historic Investment in Energy and American Manufacturing by supporting domestic clean energy development that will reduce carbon emissions, while creating millions of manufacturing jobs.
- Reduces the Deficit by billions of dollars over the next 10 years.
“Rubio is so caught up in doing the bidding of corporate and partisan special interests, that he’s willing to sink Florida’s economy and workers,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller.“There is no clearer contrast — Chief Val Demings will fight for the working people of Florida, while Rubio will continue to side with corporate special interests and partisan extremists.”
