Well, Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Bang goes Ms. Warren’s endorsement.
Fear not. She will never be President of the U.S. Maybe president of the local dingbat club though.
I want to see more gore, though. Maybe as the months progress into November we can get to some good old fashioned dismemberments.
Did she talk about confiscating Soros wealth?
has either Warren or her criminal cabal at Harvard
Law paid a single (1) group of American Indians
reparations for her/their LIES and fraud??
no, instead they hoisted Obama, Warren and Romney onto
America.
Warren is more likely to take Bezos’ money than soros’. Soros funds democrat projects. Bezos earned his money through hard work (that of his employees).
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Would the former Mrs. Bezos also have to sell a significant portion of her holdings?
At some point the wealthy will say to people like Gray Beaver, there will be a trade, my wealth for your life
I don’t get it.
All these billioniares are big lefties, right?
Why does their filthy lucre have to be confiscated? Why aren’t all these lefty billioniares putting their money where their mouths are and voluntarily writing whopping big checks to the Treasury?
Note to said billionaires: Talk is cheaper, eh?
A Bezos-specific Bozo Tax I could go for.
Bezos earned his money through hard work (that of his employees).
Damn Bezos for having the unmitigated gall to create a business that provides 750,000 people with jobs.
Bezos seems to hate Trump (through the WaPo). Would he vote for or support Warren should she become the candidate? Would that make him a “man of principle?”
I will argue that the purchase of the Compost was a strategic move to save the voice, the leading propaganda organ, with money.
The dilemma of which you note is tactical in nature. Bezos is likely not active at the tactical news level.
I agree that Bezos is unlikely to have daily interaction with the WaPo editors. But an owner can set the tone for the staff, rein them in a bit with guidelines, or encourage them to go full bore. And, the WaPo is a full-bore 24/7 propaganda organ. He has to approve, at least tacitly.
Warren, and other Socialists in the Democrat party are blissfully ignorant of the means by which Bezos, Gates, Rockefeller, and many others gained their great wealth: They figured out ways of producing or selling things cheaper or better than anyone else could, and millions of people paid them to do it. If people like Warren start to confiscate that wealth, the result will be that people will eventually pay more for less gain. That’s why Socialist governments always collapse.
An unfortunate side effect of this process is that others (like Romney, Steyer, Buffett, and more) can also use the same system to make billions buying up failing businesses and destroy the bad parts and their jobs rather than using their resources to make them better.
Still, the net result is a better, cheaper cost of living for all. Socialism fails that result for everyone.
Buffet is not like Steyer or Romney.
Warren is determined to punish success.
