You have a point - getting to where Amazon is now is hard. That should make us appreciate the perseverance, acumen and sheer willpower of Bezos. And I am not even mentioning the tremendous risks he took. So yes, duplicating Amazon is not easy, but then doing anything worthwhile is not going to easy and quick. But then, the "competitor" or "job provider" need not be in the same space as Amazon. They can be restaurents, transportation companies, anything. However, you will quickly realize that running a business of any sort is hard, full of unpredictable variables and very risky. The people who do it, as well as the people who invest in such companies should not be penalized by legislating a solution that would transfer wealth. Eventually, if the cost of the employee is more than the value that the employee is providing, then the economy will move towards automating such jobs. And Amazon-type jobs are going to be very easy to automate.
