Warren Wants Amazon To Pay Its ‘Fair Share.’ Jeff Bezos Just Wrote A Massive Check To Charity. Again.

Throughout the 2020 Democratic primary election cycle, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has made demonizing wealthy people a core part of her messaging campaign. 

In April, Warren proposed a new tax to “ensure every corporation pays their fair share,” noting that it would force Amazon to pay $698 million in taxes. In November, amid reports that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was encouraging Michael Bloomberg to consider a run for president, Warren chastised Bezos, saying that billionaires like him should “pitch in so that everyone can succeed.”
