I put in the wrong link. This is the correct link

I put in the wrong link on the last post,,,sorry.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...o-lower-taxes/

3/18/16

"Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders on Friday called on the Treasury Department to step in to stop a merger involving Pfizer that would allow the pharmaceutical giant to move its headquarters overseas to lower its taxes....................
“Blocking this inversion would not only be sound fiscal policy, it would also act as a strong deterrent to other companies that are contemplating similar tax scams,” Sanders said in the letter sent from his Senate office......
“We’ve received the letter and will respond to the Senator in due course, as appropriate,” a Treasury Department spokesman said in a statement.

Pfizer declined to comment. But the company has previously said that the merger makes strategic sense and is not structured to move jobs outside the United States."

I don't think Obama will take credit if this story is true and Bernie alerted the State Department. I hope Bernie gets the credit and the PR. If Trump sent the letter to the Treasury, it would all over the media by now.
