Biden Slams Amazon for Not Paying 'Its Fair Share,' Then Amazon Gives Joe A Quick Lecture
One of the first thing’s Joe Biden plans to do if he becomes president is repeal the Trump tax cuts. That’s right, even coming out of a pandemic where millions have lost their jobs, Joe doesn’t mind raising taxes.
Rather than beingasked about Tara Reade, Joe is talking about Amazon.
From Daily Wire:
Amazon fired back at presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden late on Friday after Biden accused Amazon of not paying “its fair share.”
Biden said, “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: No company pulling in billions of dollars in profits should pay a lower tax rate than firefighters and teachers. It’s time for Amazon to pay its fair share.“

Amazon’s response:
.@JoeBiden We pay every cent owed. You spent 3 decades in the Senate & know that Congress wrote these tax laws to encourage companies to invest in the US economy. We have. 500k jobs w/ a min wage of $15/hr across 40 states. Assume your complaint is w/ the tax code, not Amazon. https://t.co/bKV4Hy4Ma8

You’d think after four decades in politics, Joe would understand that when politicians say they’re going to raise taxes things don’t usually turn out so well for them. George Bush, anyone?
Anyway, here’s Biden being Biden – for your entertainment.
