Like Bezos hasn’t destroyed enough wealth on his own!

He’s like a one man China with what he’s done to retail and other service jobs in this country.

It isn’t good for a country when a “royal” gets all the riches. Bezos used the resources of our land to get very rich, but for some time he has been craving so much power for himself that he is becoming his own King. We frown on that here. Trump is helping the American people as best he can.

He didn't get to be as successful as he is by destroying wealth. This is backward thinking. Books don't exist so we can have book stores and book store clerks. Books exist so that people can read them. The less they have to spend on those books the richer they are.

Cars do not exist so we can have car factories and car dealers. The point of having cars is people having transportation. The less they have to spend on cars the richer they are.

Production and distribution are costs, not net creators of wealth. Reducing production and distribution costs are what makes everyone wealthier.

Not a fan of Bezos, but he ‘he didn’t do it.’

The growth of Amazon was made possible by the confluence of circumstances that he simply took advantage of.

Unfortunately it will require new legislation in order to stop him from attaining a monopoly that will indeed lead to something close to world domination. Sounds insane, but in fewer than 20 years the guy has invented nothing and is pretty much the wealthiest man who has ever lived.

Twenty years from now, well God bless Posterity, but the Brave New World is coming.

Your post is archaic dogma no longer correct nor appropriate in the present

Yes, and think of all the blacksmiths, saddlemakers and livery stable owners whose jobs were destroyed by Henry Ford.
