Jeff Bezos: “we're supportive of a rise in the corporate tax rate [which we will avoid paying and which we know will harm our competitors more than us; we also hope backing tax hikes will buy us protection from any anti-trust nastiness.] https://twitter.com/...

Amazon calls for higher taxes, which of course aren't that much of a problem when you have a monopoly. https://www.aboutamazon.com/ ...

Jeff Bezos says he supports Biden for a hike to corporate tax rate. #Amazon in 2019: - Pre-tax income: $13.9 billion - Fed tax paid: $162 Million - Rate paid: 1.2% Maybe Bezos wants to contribute back taxes for past 4 years? https://omny.fm/...

Easy to support increasing the corporate tax when you dont pay tax regardless. But yeah, higher corporate taxes are still good. We just need to close about a BILLION loopholes. https://www.cnbc.com/...

If you claim no taxable income then of course you're fine with an increased tax rate. That's just more taxes for companies that actually pay. https://twitter.com/...

What a joke! Bezos makes thousands of dollars a minute. He doesn't owe back taxes because of tax laws Bezos and other gazilionairez contribute to corrupt members of Congress. It's the poor who get screwed every time. https://twitter.com/...
