  • In 2014, Jim Webb said, "I care about fiscal responsibility. I think we need to look at tax reform overall in a streamlined way. I personally would support the notion of reducing the corporate taxes, eliminating loopholes and, at the same time, increasing capital gains taxes."[1]
  • In 2012, Webb opposed "Obama's plan to extend the Bush-era tax cuts to household income under $250,000 for one year," and "called for taxes to be increased on dividends and capital gains instead," according to Politico.[2]
  • Webb voted for H.R.4853 - the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, which, among other things, extended the Bush tax cuts. It became law on December 12, 2010.[3]
