'We are going to make massive corporations finally pay their fair share,' Sanders said.
Senator Bernie Sanders called out Netflix this week for allegedly paying less in income tax during 2018 than the cost of a single month on the company's cheapest video streaming subscription plan.
"Amazon made $16.8 billion in profits over the past two years but have paid ZERO in federal income taxes. In fact it got a $269 million tax refund," Sanders tweeted in February."Our job: Demand large corporations pay their fair share in taxes so that we can rebuild the disappearing middle class." Our job: Demand large corporations pay their fair share in taxes so that we can rebuild the disappearing middle class.In 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. Critics claim that many companies don't pay the tax anyway due to legal loopholes, which the bill failed to close.
