CBS GOP S.C. Debate: on Families & Children


John Kasich: A big mosaic: we all take care of each other

I believe we're part of a very big mosaic. The spirit of the America rests in all of us. It's in our guts. It's taking care of our children. It's taking care of the lady next door who just lost her husband. It's fixing the schools where we live and telling kids to stay off drugs. The spirit of America doesn't come from the top down. I want to call on everyone to realize that you were made special to heal this country and lift it for everyone.

Marco Rubio: Make investing in kids deductible like business expenses

If a business takes their money and they invest in the piece of the equipment, they get to write it off their taxes. If a parent takes money they have earned and invests in their children, they can't? This makes no sense. Parenting is the most important job any of us will have. What my tax plan does is create an additional Child Tax Credit. Parents who are working get to keep more of their own money to invest in their children.
