It’s time we turn on the Orange County economy. We have rising Government budgets and a long stagnant GDP. Our trajectory is bad unless we do more things similar to how we brought and saved JSX.

@MattShupePR A large portion of the income comes from married men. Likely the kind of men who throw stones.

@elonmusk Save Britain Sink France

@DylanRatigan Dylan, Outstanding take. Save it folks

Bezos’ Tax Proposal Is Crumbs — And a Distraction From Monopoly Power Jeff Bezos recently proposed eliminating federal income taxes for the bottom half of American earners. While that may sound generous, it largely functions as crumbs distributed from the top of an economic structure that has already become dangerously concentrated. The real issue is not whether working Americans deserve tax relief. They obviously do. The real issue is how so much wealth and power became centralized in the first place. The mythology surrounding modern billionaires is that they become wealthy because they create proportional value for society. Sometimes that is true. But increasingly, modern fortunes are generated less through open competition and more through ownership of monopoly or oligopoly platforms that people cannot realistically avoid. Once a company controls the marketplace, the cloud infrastructure, the logistics network, the advertising layer, and the commerce gateway simultaneously, wealth no longer flows primarily from individual productivity or merit. It flows from systemic positioning and infrastructural control. That is not classical capitalism. That is market dominance. Historically, anti-monopoly laws and progressive taxation existed precisely to prevent this type of concentration. The purpose was not to punish success. The purpose was to preserve competition and prevent excessive accumulations of economic leverage from overwhelming both markets and democratic institutions. The problem with proposals like Bezos’ is that they distract from the underlying architecture itself. Providing modest tax relief to workers while leaving monopoly structures intact does not restore economic freedom. It simply redistributes a tiny fraction of the gains produced by systems that continue concentrating wealth upward. The real solution is not charity from monopoly owners. The real solution is restoring competitive capitalism itself through aggressive anti-monopoly enforcement, decentralization of market power, and tax policies that drive investment into new competitors and new industries rather than reinforcing dominant platforms. Because once billionaires become wealthy primarily through control of markets instead of competition within them, we are no longer defending free enterprise. We are defending concentrated power — while calling it capitalism. @JeffBezos @amazon @andrewrsorkin @CNBC @Newsweek @carlo_versano

@BobMurphyEcon now that is a question?! UBI is not the worst idea if it’s timed correctly with robotics & software. Taking automation growth at unprecedented levels changes the equations. Quantum Industrial Revolution (The 5th One).

Presumably this was all internally focus-grouped etc. with his media consultants. (I've been around some real pros in my days who live in DC. Those guys are slick but effective.) But even if his motivation is purely to defend his own wealth, still I think his message is what billionaires should be pushing right now, not UBI.

Fair question, most of it has to do with God’s grace. And at the same time I agree with you that you have to put in the work. It’s seemingly a paradox, but oddly not. But the numbers and trends right now are not going the right way. Just ask Grok or try and remember 1980s America?! It was trending right. The stronger (or more gifted) are supposed to help out the weaker. Almost every religion agrees on that. At the end of the day, I’m applauding. Mr. Bezos and his position but it’s a rather small improvement. and very late to boot.

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos How in the world does a company like Amazon make somebody poor or homeless? Were those of us who aren’t poor or homeless just lucky that it didn’t hit us?

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

@Kat_T_Tsun @JeffBezos This is amusing. Part of it I agree with part of it I don’t. Going to have to think about it some more.

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos Jeff Bezos didn't "create" working poor. Capitalism did, structurally, because Capitalism just works like that. Even if the Cold War had never ended. Even if Carter were President instead of Reagan. Americans would still be poor. Because Boomers are a parasitic generation.

@imsoHInice2mtu @JeffBezos Except for the job creation numbers, you could reverse your entire post and read it in the negative. And hold onto the mocking tone 🫶🏻

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos Do you understand how many tens of thousands of families have homes because someone works for a Bezos company? You're welcome to cry about "living wages" and other communist drivel, but it's an undeniable fact that he's created a shit ton of jobs.

@xxxJohnGaltxxx @JeffBezos catch up John! you are letting your name-sake down

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos Joe, Please tell us this is satire before you are shamed into a corner for openly admitting you have no idea how the economy works... This is a joke, right? Right???? I really want to belive you not this shallow mentally. I want to belive in my fellow Americans.

@RestoreAnglo @JeffBezos touché

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos You feel that way because you're an idiot and you see the world through your retarded brain and just don't understand anything.

@Chim10_ @JeffBezos agreed, his logistical mind served him well.

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos He just built a better “mouse trap” than the old economy… innovation always wins.

@Tom_Emmet @JeffBezos Great question Tom, for starters can the CEO name every employee in the company? I’m not talking in absolutes, but in generalities. I know we need companies of all sizes, but personally, I would never want a company larger than the amount of names I can remember.

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos So what is your solution that adds value as opposed to just a stale, unintelligent and value-less post that attacks a single individual? How many jobs have you created, Joe?

@christoph_wertz @JeffBezos @grok @Grok how many of those on government assistance?

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos @grok how many people are employed by Amazon?

@Kprroz @JeffBezos 🤣

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos He made people with a shopping addictions poor…. Let’s be real. Always blaming the dealers , never the addicts 😂

I agree with your reference on Walmart! I don’t want to create a company or jobs that doesn’t create living wages or a reasonablr path to them. Even if I’m forced to have some entry-level positions they should not be the vast majority of my company. I would not be pleased if 1/3 of my warehouse employees were on SNAP. At that point the problem is me. Why not help elevate people? Jerald you seem very intelligent and I truly want to understand. Persuade me towards you or vice-versa and we meet somewhere in the middle. We live in the greatest country ever, my friend.

Opps backfire on what, you act like all the retail stores Amazon replaced was able to offer similar or even better wages? Please, how about making sure you know what it replaced and that the service for consumers is better, prices lower, and wages likely higher than your typical small random retail store they replaced. How about Walmart? They have the exact same problems in living wages, it's the market system and government also not planning to make sure there's enough supply of cheap housing. But yeah, blame it alllll on them.

@grok @floorkoppejan @SanchoPanzy @JeffBezos fair. My numbers are off a bit BUT still despicable

@SkofieldKE @JeffBezos Touché you said it better then I could and more concise @Grok provide the data to show how many employees Amazon has and what percentage live in poverty or below? And what year were benefits to provided to warehouse employees?

@JeffBezos Zero taxes on the bottom 50% sounds nice coming from the guy whose company treats its lowest paid employees like disposable Amazon boxes

@Grok please provide some data. When did Amazon provide benefits to the lowest level employees? Please provide your best math to show how many employees Amazon has created and then give us stats on the % of them that could ever afford a home or even an apartment? vs living in a van or RV. Please educate us on documentaries that cover this exact issue. Additionally explain the destruction, if any, of local main street businesses that have been crushed in cities across America. Additionally please provide the positives and conveniences that consumers have gained from Amazon services. Lastly please provide a ratio from the lowest paid employees to the very top. Final question, was Amazon successful enough to create ONLY living wage jobs? even if the stock holders and executives didn’t make quite as much, if so provide that calculation and example. Thank you Grok!

@JoeDaichendt @JeffBezos Seriously, how do we create dumbasses like you? Jeff Bezos has done wonders with Amazon's service and you want to vomit? You people are insufferable, shut the fuck up.

@elonmusk Lies!! Jeff is a Master at creating the working homeless. Similarly Disneyland had employees dying in cars. Literal death. Biz Owners If you cannot create a living wage job, don’t create it.

True

@HunterBiden living your life out loud! Bold and Brave Sir. show us all an almost impossible recovery and I’ll become a fan.

I'm Hunter Biden. You've never actually heard from me.
