Congress stratigies

One thing I saw when I was writing a paper for AP Gov. on Rush Holt was that there was this one bill he was braging about that he said he was proud to cosponser. The bill was Fairness and Accountability in International Taxation Act which would make rich people pay at least a little tax. On his website he brags about being a co-sponser to the bill. So I look up the bill and it went only to the House and ways committee and thats it. Also he is 1 of 76 cosponsers of the bill. So he brags about the bill and it didn't even pass he didn't do anything accept sign his name on it. So be careful when you here what politians say when they support bills because odds are it didn't even pass. So be careful and look up the record of anyone before voting.
