SANDERS WARNS THE SENATE IN 2011
Credit where credit is due. Sanders saw it coming and voted against the Panama Free Trade Agreement in October 2011.
From the Sanders Campaign:
Bernie opposed the 2011 Panama Free Trade Agreement because he was worried it would increasingly allow wealthy Americans and large corporations to evade U.S. taxes by stashing their cash in offshore tax havens. Now with the release of the Panama Papers it appears he was right. They show that over 214,000 offshore companies are using Panama to evade taxes. That is unacceptable, and that has got to change.
