Trump might be jealous of Bezos' enormous wealth.Trump escalates attack on Amazon, focusing on tax, shipping
"U.S. President Donald Trump accused Amazon.com Inc AMZN.O) on Thursday of not paying enough tax, taking advantage of the U.S. postal system and putting small retailers out of business,"
Yes, a guy who potentially gained $880 million from New York in tax breaks criticizes Amazon for doing the same thing. Trump paid to play in this too, we'd call it corruption but it seems perfectly okay in the US.
A Trump Empire Built on Inside Connections and $885 Million in Tax Breaks
Don't get me wrong, the US system is corrupt and favors large multi-nationals, I'd love to see it change. But I don't see Trump being the one to change it for the right reasons or in the right way.
This seems more an attack from one businessman on another businessman.
At any rate, Bezos could end all poverty in the USA and still have billions left over. I know that is off point, but how the F**K does one man amass $135 billion? This fucker Bezos could end poverty all over the world, and still be enormously wealthy.
