Bill Pascrell: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

I missed 8 roll call votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted: Roll Call 235, Ordering the Previous Question for H. Res. 1269, NO; Roll Call 236, Passage of H. Res. 1269, NO; Roll Call 237, Bost Amendment No. 8, NO; Roll Call…

I am glad the budget includes finally closing the carried interest loophole, maybe the worst loophole in the entire tax code.

And I am not giving up because if we don't do that we continue to send the wrong message to the taxpayers.

So I am proud of our efforts to make big business and rich tax cheats finally pay their fair share. What the heck is wrong with that? And we have made progress.
