No. You must realize they want bigger government because the bigger it is the more money they make. They own after all. So no, they do not support tax cuts and this is also why they do not support the Rs, but love the D party.Of course.IMO it is much worse than that. Bezos has enormous political power and influence in the Imperial Capital. He like nearly all billionaires, in our corrupt system of government, has undue political power. Our government is for sale and Bezos can easily buy whatever he wants.Okay...I’m in, sounds cool, I like Rage Against The Machine.
So tell me, how does Jeff Bezo’s wealth and “power” affect me?
Jeff Bezo's wealth and power so greatly influence our elected officials they throw money at him in two ways. First, they have been SLOW to stop the welfare for the internet by not taxing all internet sales unfairly burdening brick and mortar businesses with a ~8% competitive disadvantage. Second, our local politicians have you and me pay taxes to subsidize his business by giving tax breaks to these local Amazon mega warehouses. The field is not even and the Trump's can tell you what's wrong with the tax system.
Bezos is a leading member of the Ruling Class.
These talking points are always super fun and entertaining...we all love a real Hollywood movie plot...The funny thing is, when I ask how this “ruling class” has an effect on people they can’t answer the question. Can you?
Also, if this “ruling class” is pulling all the strings I wonder how Donny T became President? Gates, Buffet, Bezos, Zuckerberg, the Google pricks...none of them wanted Trump as POTUS...weird huh?
The ruling class controls the nation and has done so for decades. When you have enormous wealth and the politicians running government are for sale, you buy influence and control for your benefit. I am always surprised that so many Americans can't see it, when it is clear as day.
For example, the US central government and the Federal Reserve spent TRILLIONS of dollars (something like 20-30 trillion) in the years immediately following the real estate crash. Was the money spent on infrastructure? Was it spent on alleviating student loan debt? Was it spent on bailing out millions of Americans who lost their homes? Was it spent on providing HC? Was it spent on eliminating poverty? NO...NO...NO...NO...NO.....NO.....It was spent on BAILING OUT THE BANKS and big corps...essentially it was used to bail out the RULING CLASS. They always get their way. The people not so much.
Donnie got elected over the massive objections of the ruling class. They were complacent and believed the BS from the DNCMSM. They all thought the crazy bitch would win, who they supported almost exclusively because they knew she was owned. When she didn't, they went into a full court press to de-legitimize Trump, which continues today.
The American people rose up against the Ruling Class in electing Trump. Clearly he was the lesser of two evils. However, the ruling class with it's control of the MSM, has turned millions of Americans into crazed Trump haters. This divisiveness could end in massive violence, which again is EXACTLY what the Ruling Class wants..
Look, I won’t deny; there is definitely corruption within politics. However, I do question the magnitude of the corruption. Consider this, if this “ruling class” is motivated by money and the members are big biz owners wouldn’t they support tax cuts for corporations and deregulation...hence, wouldn’t they support Trump and his agenda? Shit just don’t add up bud.
