“Reclaiming my time. Mr. West, when Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan and all our Republican colleagues cite those figures about passthroughs, that includes companies like Bain Capital. It also includes some Fortune 100 companies. The President has put forward a proposal that says let's act right now to extend tax relief to 98 percent of the American people and 97 percent of all passthrough businesses. It's true we don't think that Bain Capital needs a big additional tax break when we've got a big deficit that we should deal with in what we think should be a balanced way. I reserve the balance of my time. Announcement by the Speaker pro tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Miller of Michigan). Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair.”
