“Democrats are committed to rebuilding America's economy, putting our workers back to work and ensuring our businesses can compete in a global 21st century economy. Today we will vote on the Small Business and Infrastructure Jobs Tax Act, which makes smart investments, including: expanding Build America Bonds, which have been used by State and local governments across the country, including 21 times in my own home State of Pennsylvania, to finance $2 billion in essential infrastructure projects; excluding capital gains taxes on the sale of small business stock; exempting water and sewer facility bonds from State volume caps initiating new infrastructure water projects which will improve the quality of our drinking water; and ending unfair tax penalties for small businesses that offer certain pension plans.
