Amazon is firing back at Senator Elizabeth Warren after she accused the online retailer of not paying its fair share of taxes.
Warren yesterday claimed that Amazon reports huge profits to shareholders, but exploits loopholes to pay almost no taxes.
Amazon released a statement a short time later, saying Warren and the rest of Congress make the tax laws, and the company just follows them.
Amazon says it paid one-point-seven-billion-dollars in federal tax in 2020, along with 18-billion more in state and local taxes.
