Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) riled many Tea Party conservatives by supporting a bipartisan immigration reform bill in 2013 to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. Although the bill died in the House, many thought Rubio, 43, had hurt himself politically in terms of a future 2016 GOP presidential nomination by backing such a controversial plan. On Wednesday the young senator was back rolling the dice again, this time by daring to become the first major GOP presidential aspirant to offer a comprehensive plan for overhauling the federal tax system – and in the process skirting GOP tax reform dogma.
