Bernie Sanders and the Panama Papers

"Just days ago, the Panama Papers were leaked, which only bolstered Bernie’s assertions in regards to the international financial elite. The Papers include 40 years of data that reveals massive collusion between government officials and big business to hide assets in overseas tax havens. What’s important to note is Bernie’s stance on trade, which relates to this leak: the 2011 Trade Deal – a deal that Clinton outright supported – only provided more protection for this unscrupulous tax dodgers. In stark contrast, Bernie vociferously attacked the legislation on the Senate floor. Once again, Bernie highlighted the problems with the trade deal, especially as it relates the limited or zero liability for the shady players involved in this international scandal."
