 So this brings me to a tweet by Jeff Bezos now I know most people think Jeff Bezos is some kind of Some kind of leftist, but I don't I don't think Jeff is I Think he's probably more of a kind of a libertarian who doesn't have a political home And he probably voted Democratic because he hated Trump But probably he's not a Democrat and doesn't regularly vote Democratic Here's Jeff Bezos's tweet. This is in response to Joe Biden's tweets. So Joe Biden wrote this you want to bring down inflation Let's make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair taxes. They pay taxes Again Joe Biden wrote you want to bring down inflation. Let's make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share of taxes How do would that bring down inflation? Where's the economic theory that suggests that corporate taxes are related to inflation? There's no relationship between the two, but that is the United States government official tweet coming out of Joe Biden Jeff Bezos response The newly the newly created Disinformation board should review this tweet or maybe they need to form a new Non-sequitur board instead. Whoops. Sorry my Jeff Bezos tweet tweets jumped Raising corporate taxes is fine to discuss Taming inflation is critical to discuss Mushing them together is just misdirection. I'll read you Jeff Bezos's tweet again. The newly created misinformation board should review this tweet or Maybe they need to form a new non-sequitur board instead raising corporate taxes is fine to discuss Taming inflation is critical to discuss Mushing them together is just misdirection. Other people comment on Deficits and other things and Jeff Bezos Later writes in fact administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already overheated inflationary economy and only mansion Mentioned that senator from West Virginia saved them from themselves Inflation is a regressive tax that most hoods hoods the least affluent misdirection doesn't help the country This is exactly what the Democrats are doing. There's an inflation problem. We know what caused it primarily the Federal Reserve Monetizing the massive government spending that went into covert relief and spending three point five trillion dollars creating massive deficits and The Federal Reserve monetizing that that caused inflation Democrats Inflations caused by corporate greed Which didn't exist I guess when there was no inflation Inflations caused by corporations paying too few taxes Inflation is caused by anything except the thing that we Really advocate for which is lots of government spending Now I don't think anybody's buying the misdirection from the Democrats But it is interesting to watch This is the White House's response to Jeff Bezos Quote it doesn't require huge leap to figure out why one of the wealthiest individuals on earth Opposes an economic agenda for the middle class that cuts some of the biggest cost families face Fights inflation for the long haul and adds the historic deficit reduction The president is achieving by asking the richest taxpayers and corporations to pay their fair share It's also unsurprising that this tweet comes after the president met with labor organization Organizes including Amazon employees so again Yeah, I mean everything Biden is doing is gonna reduce inflation is gonna reduce the deficit Including spending additional three and a half trillion dollars Jeff responds Look a squirrel This is the White House's statement about my recent tweets They understandably we want to muddy the topic. They know inflation hurts the neediest the most But unions aren't causing inflation and neither are wealthy people Remember the administration tried their best to add another three and a half trillion dollars to federal spending they failed But if they had succeeded Inflation would be even higher than it is today and inflation today is at a 40-year high Jeff Bezos is not some nutty leftist He might own the Washington Post But does he have a tutorial say in the Washington Post as he hands off owner we don't know Everything I know about Jeff Bezos suggested he is a small L libertarian. There's a free marketer at the core It's not a socialist. He's not a redistributionist. He's not a You know big government type at all indeed. I think many people in Silicon Valley Who accused of being leftists are like this. They they probably support much of the social agenda of the left but an economic policy is they're free market people so What can I say? I always am happy to see a Business was standing up for himself talking back to politicians Defending himself and defending his ideas Yeah, he he none of these people are perfect. I get it. None of these people are perfect But the reason he lobbied for $15 minimum wage Do you know why he lobbied for $15 minimum wage because he felt like he was forced to provide it to his employees under threat of government action by Trump administration of all people and he said look if I am going to have to pay $15 minimum wage Then everybody should Now I'm not justifying. I'm not saying he's justified in doing it But if you ask Jeff Bezos, do you believe there should be a minimum wage and If we got rid of minimum wage across the board from Amazon and everybody else, would you be happier? I Bet you he would say yes Bet you he would say yes. Oh You know is he's somewhat of an environmentalist? I'm sure is he somewhat of a compromise on other things. I'm sure Is he perfect? No God He's one of the most successful businessman in human history He's improved your life and my life dramatically and he has a voice that once in a while he uses to stand up to government I'm all with him I'll take a businessman like Bezos over any politician Particularly businessmen turn politicians Some of whom, you know Democratic party when it comes to inflation is aggressively trying to divert attention away From what causes inflation? Government spending out of control And a fed that bails out everybody left and right. Linda. Thank you for the support. Really appreciate it Who else did I miss here? Anonymous user. Thank you so It's They're afraid Inflation is going to really really hurt them Yeah, in in recent times alone muskets stood up to government more than jeff bezels says no question Still good to see jeff bezels do it I wish more did it There's no accident by the way that he's only standing up to government now that he's left amazon, right?
