I’M JUGS TRYING TO WORK OUT
WHAT’S NEXT HERE.
AMAZON IS ACCUSED NOT PAYING ITS
TAXES.
JOE BIDEN SAID, YOU’RE NOT
PAYING YOUR TAXES.
I BELIEVE EDWARD LAWRENCE,
AMAZON IS FIRING BACK.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING.
REPORTER: THEY ARE.
VERY PUBLIC FIRING BACK HERE.
JOE BIDEN, FORMER
VICE PRESIDENT, CAME OUT ON
TWITTER SAYING BASICALLY AMAZON
SHOULD NOT PAY LESS IN INCOME
TAX OR CORPORATE TAXES THAN
FIREFIGHTERS OR TEACHERS.
AMAZON FIRES BACK, REPLY TOTH
TWEET SAYING THIS, QUOTE, WE PAY
EVERY CENT OWED.
YOU SPENT THREE DECADES IN THE
SENATE.
KNOW THAT CONGRESS WROTE THESE
TAX LAWS TO ENCOURAGE COMPANIES
TO INVEST IN THE ECONOMY.
WE HAVE 500,000 JOBS, WITH
MINIMUM WAGE OF $15 AN HOUR.
ASSUME YOUR COMPLAINT IS WITH
THE TAX CODE, NOT AMAZON.
BIDEN’S PLAN WOULD RAISE THE
CORPORATE RATE TO 28%.
WOULD HAVE MINIMUM RATE OF
COMPANIES THAT TAKE IN REVENUE
FOR $100 MILLION.
BIDEN WAS IN THE SENATE 36
YEARS, VICE PRESIDENT UNDER THE
PRESIDENT OBAMA WHERE SOME OF
THE TAX CODES WRITTEN AND
CHANGED RELATED TO THE
CORPORATIONS.
SO THE AMAZON TWITTER ACCOUNT
GETTING AS AGGRESSIVE PUSHING
BACK LIKE THE STATE OF
NEW JERSEY ACCOUNT DOES, PUSH
