Committee Statment
March 6, 2014
Congressman Doggett: In my questioning of Treasury Secretary Jack Lew about the President’s budget proposal, he agreed that “our tax code should not encourage the export of American jobs.” Too many major corporations pay their executives and lobbyists more than they pay in corporate taxes. We should be coming together to close these corporate tax loopholes that unfairly shift the tax burden to small businesses and individuals.
