The daughter of Sen. Joe Manchin (D.-W.Va.) is taking her giant generic drug-making company based outside of Pittsburgh to the Netherlands for a favorable tax rate, and according to the New York Times, Heather Bresch remains a “patriot” and made the decision “reluctantly.”

Ron Fournier at National Journal took issue with the Times writer Andrew Ross Sorkin’s characterization of “Bresch as a helpless victim of a system that has made her wealthy and her father powerful.”

Bresch is the chief executive of Mylan, a generic drug maker with profits that “come largely from Medicaid and Medicare, which means her nest is feathered by U.S. taxpayers,” according to Fournier.
