Bezos is also responsible for creating a new precariat who can only do their jobs by pissing into bottles because they aren't allowed the basic humanity to look after their needs.
If you're going to try to persuade me this is a good thing and not a Hobbesian nightmare, you're not going to succeed.
This isn't just about taxes. This is about humanism vs financial authoritarianism.
It's also about the fact that the world was both more stable and more obviously prosperous when tax rates were much higher.
Economies are supposed to be prosperity factories for everyone to enjoy, and not just billionaire factories for a few extremely privileged individuals whose wealth exists because they've placed unacceptable financial and personal burdens on the people who work for them.
