<<I am bothered by taxing job producers....because if you want something to go away, tax it.>> What really bothers me is people who drop dead because they cannot afford healthcare or a good meal to eat. All of this happens in the name of capitalism. I consider capitalism in its pure form to be evil, unjust and inhumane. Yes, I know people have desires to make a lot of money and become rich. and I suppose I am not opposed to that since I managed to do well myself. But when all this wealth becomes concentrated in a small minority at the expense of the many, I think it sucks. Given the fact that the House and Senate are composed of mostly multi-millionaires who mostly vote their pocket book, I not only see little improvement on the way, but the situation becoming much worse. The day is coming when SS and Medicare will be cut to support more tax cuts. Honestly, I don't give 2 hoots about Amazon or any other US corporation. My allegiance is to the people who are homeless, rummaging through trash cans for food and can't afford to see a doctor and buy a clean pair of underwear or pants. Whatever it takes to help these people to get off the streets is my priority. If Amazon makes less profits, to bad. No doubt Amazon would look to possibly lay off people to balance the tax increase and/or raise prices. But the vast majority of jobs at Amazon are low quality to begin with. Let Amazon move to Bermuda or some other tax free locale. Ultimately, that's what Bezos is going to do anyway.
