If Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax had been in place from 1982, Jeff Bezos would still have had a net worth of 49 billion dollars, and Bill Gates would have had 14 billion dollars.
In exchange for that, all Americans would have been granted universal child- and healthcare. Student debt would be regularly relieved, and the federal education budget would be 4 times larger.
Vote as if lives depend on it. Because they do.
If you take bezos money, his service would cease to exist.
And so would your utopia.
Bezos would still have 49 billion dollars, more money than he could ever spend no matter how hard he tried. That's hardly taking "all his money".
Also, I love amazon, but if I have to give it up for universal health care and free tuition? Fuck it, I’mma gonna go back to the stores and brace the masses in a heartbeat
What fucking service is Bezos offering beyond destroying countless businesses and putting poor workers through mental and physical torture just so they can make barely enough to pay their rent?
