Jeff Bezos has gotten $78 billion richer during the pandemic and Amazon has paid zero federal taxes for 3 years. It’s not just a matter of how we can be OK with that. It makes you wonder how even he can be OK with that. #WealthTax

How much in taxes has Bezos himself paid? And all Amazon employees? More than ten million Mariannes put together?

He and all the other billionaires could give their money to the people (who made them billionaires) and become heroes overnight. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to do this? Could even keep a billion so they don't run out of 'ready cash'.

The Democrats cannot "restore the soul of the nation" without addressing the rapacious greed that is eating at the soul of the nation. The Dems won't do that, but @PeoplesParty_US will!!!

You know how we fix that ?? Open small businesses . Corporations don’t pay taxes , they pass them on to us , the consumer . You already know this but like to pander to the uninformed. Corporate taxes are taxes on the people .

#WealthTax is a step in the right direction, but it's a band-aid on a system designed to concentrate wealth instead of distribute it. It's a system for the few, not the many. Poverty, wars, racism, and climate change are all linked through capitalism. It's the beast we must slay.
