Amazon Hits Back Hard at Joe Biden After he Criticizes Their Tax Payments
Posted at 12:00 pm on June 14, 2019 by Bonchie
I’m not sure what it is about Amazon and Democrat politicians, but perhaps Jeff Bezos should reconsider shamelessly shilling for left given their general distain for him and his company.
Most notably, the fresh faced Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ran Amazon out of New York, costing her constituents 25,000 new jobs and tens of billions in economic development. Why? Well, no one really knows given that Amazon already voluntarily bows to many of the left’s demands, i.e. a $15 minimum wage.
It’s never enough though.
Take this shot Joe Biden took at Amazon, for example.

@amazonnews
We’ve paid $2.6B in corporate taxes since 2016. We pay every penny we owe. Congress designed tax laws to encourage companies to reinvest in the American economy. We have. $200B in investments since 2011 & 300K US jobs. Assume VP Biden’s complaint is w/ the tax code, not Amazon.
