Press Release:
Excerpt: “These CFOs painted a vivid picture of how the pending capital gains and dividend tax hikes would stifle their ability to grow and hire new workers,” said Roskam. “We need jobs in this country, and an increase in these tax rates would absolutely hurt the economy as a whole. And it’s not just hiring that would take a hit—millions of seniors rely on money from investments to supplement their fixed income, and would have less each month to pay their bills.”
