Is Jeff Bezos having second thoughts about his political ideology and that of his newspaper?
The founder of Amazon and owner of the Washington Post – and the richest man in the world at the current Amazon stock price – is being targeted by leftists because he has been so successful. Not for any alleged misbehavior, but simply because he and his company Amazon (not the WaPo) have so much money.
Yesterday, Bernie Sanders attacked him by name, noting that the three richest men in America have as much wealth as the bottom half. Apparently, he believe that if they had been less successful, that 50% would have more wealth – the zero-sum approach characteristic of leftists who do not understand wealth generation.
At 58 seconds, he attacks Bezos's increase in wealth in recent days, as Amazon's stock price soared.
Meanwhile, the day before Sanders gave his speech, the Seattle City Council unanimously passed a new tax on large employers, requiring them to pay $275 per year per employee if they gross more than $20 million a year within the city. KING-TV reports: "Tax Amazon" was the battle cry for supporters of the measure, claiming the Seattle-based behemoth that employs thousands in the city is not paying its fair share......
Amazon's vice president went almost full Grover Norquist in his response (emphasis added):..........Read More
My Take - We have to understand that there are no boundaries to the left. There's never enough taxes, there's never enough government, there's never enough regulations, there's never enough spending, and there's never going to be satisfaction on the left until we're Venezuela.
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, then Bernie Sanders is insane, and so is the rest of the left. Leftism has been a failure everywhere and for all time, and yet, many tout it as if it's new and exciting, and these loony leftist academics, who never had a real job, or created one job for anyone in their life - spout leftist nonsense contaminating the young minds in their care.
If history and reality is the basis for truth - then leftists are liars as well as insane.
