Am I the only one who finds it weird that, because Bezos said "I support X", a large proportion of HN finds itself mechanically saying "X is the worst thing in the world and Bezos only supports it because he's greedy and evil".
I mean, I don't have any strong opinion on corporate taxes (I think they're not the most efficient way to tax large businesses, but whatever), but people here aren't exactly demonstrating great consistency.
Like, the tax hike Bezos is referring to is essentially a partial reversal of the tax cuts Trump put into effect two years ago. I would be shocked if the majority of people who are saying the hikes Bezos supports are bad for small businesses would have said that the cuts Trump passed were good for small businesses back then.
(Yes, there are ways "new tax hike bad, previous tax cut bad" can both be true; if you have any evidence this is the case, I'm really interested; but I'm absolutely certain the vast majority of posters here have no such evidence)
