Today, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, and Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) wrote to five major pharmaceutical companies, calling them out for paying $0 in federal taxes for profit earned last year, despite earning billions of dollars. These companies, which are Abbvie, Pfizer, Amgen, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson, have taken advantage of tax loopholes created by President Trump’s 2017 tax bill and have lobbied for even more tax giveaways.
Hey, it was very strongly worded I’ll have you know. Didn’t even say ‘sorry for bothering you’.
