Amazon hit back against Joe Biden on Thursday after the former Vice President levied an attack at the online retail giant for paying nothing in corporate taxes last year.

"I have nothing against Amazon, but no company pulling in billions of dollars of profits should pay a lower tax rate than firefighters and teachers," said Biden in a Thursday tweet, linking to an April 29 story in the New York Times.

Amazon did not take kindly to Biden's bashing, tweeting back "We’ve paid $2.6B in corporate taxes since 2016," adding "We pay every penny we owe."

"Congress designed tax laws to encourage companies to reinvest in the American economy. We have. $200B in investments since 2011 & 300K US jobs. Assume VP Biden’s complaint is w/ the tax code, not Amazon."
