Sen. Bernie Sanders proposed an amendment that would close tax loopholes allowing corporation and wealthy Americans to shift jobs and profits overseas. The U.S. Treasury claims nearly $100 billion is lost annually to offshore tax dodging. However, in a 52 to 45 vote, the Senate rejected the amendment proposal to the GOP fiscal 2016 budget. Sanders had proposed the amendment as a way to help pay for infrastructure repairs.
