Bonilla is for using tax dollars to support corporations that go overseas to avoid paying taxes and voted against the amendment. Rodriguez voted for it. Amazingly enough, it actually passed in a Republican controlled House. So was this a “principal” vote for Bonilla?

Representative Bernard Sanders (D-VT) offered an amendment to H.R. 4818, the Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill, in order to deny direct loans or loan guarantees to corporate expatriates. In recent years, some U.S. corporations have moved overseas while retaining a mailbox in tax havens for the sole purpose of avoiding tens-of-millions of dollars in U.S. taxes. On top of this avoidance, they ask for billions in subsidized loans, loan guarantees, and other financial assistance. The Sanders amendment would deny direct loans or loan guarantees to corporate expatriates.
