How can anyone think this would not be a good idea?
Under Bernie's Make Billionaire's Pay Act, Jeff Bezos would owe $52 billion more in taxes and would still be $35 billion richer than he was before the pandemic. And that bill would raise enough revenue to cover all out-of-pocket healthcare costs of the American people this year.

It depends on who is in charge of spending the money.

YES I AGREE, AS LONG AS AMAZON DOES NOT ADD ON ITS' COST BACK ON TO THE CUSTOMER IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Its not liquid capital. So this is really a means for the government to take over ownership of Amazon a little chunk at a time.

🙄 simple, right? Pick up a damn book.
Only comunists would think so.

Because it's theft. Who gives you the right
Replying to @marwilliamson
We’ve absolutely earned it with how much Americans have spent on Amazon during this pandemic! Fuck Jeff Bezos, we should take more than that.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because they will go back again and again and then come for you. Stop spending money

George Washington has had a cure for party squabble.

Well first I do not trust the numbers and second why would we not put that money toward the debt rather then spend it. We are 23 trillion in debt
