If there's anyone who's been trying to do that in the past few years, it's Bernie Sanders. That's where the "$15 minimum wage" idea came from. But even most Democrats aren't on board, let alone Republicans. I'm guessing this bill is made so that it appeals to Trump, too, who's been attacking Bezos lately. Fingers crossed it passes. Amazon has benefited from low taxes, which has catapulted it into a monopoly in several markets. Monopolies are bad for consumers, competition, and employees. The low taxes is part of the reasons why it's been able to invest more in the company, subsidize Kindle ebooks for years (Apple has called it a price dumping tactic), it enabled it to offer free shipping with a relatively low subscription, and of course cheaper products in general compared to offline retailers.
