I'd support higher taxes if the bulk of them went to helping people instead of inventing and perfecting new ways to kill them. Fact is I trust bezos with that money more than the federal government.
The government is effectively owned by billionaires which is why you don't trust the government. But if we get rid of extreme wealth inequality then the government starts working for the rest of us. These two issues are connected. We gotta eat the rich if we want a democracy that actually works.
How about neither can be trusted because both have shown to not give a shit about helping people.
True. But trust isn't binary. Bezos hasn't bombed any hospitals, weddings, or schools that I'm aware of so he's ahead of the US federal government for now.
He hordes money and controls the media to ensure the people dont get ahead. He's complicit in arguably just as many deaths.
Wake me up when he starts stockpiling doomsday devices. The US federal government has roughly 4000 of them.
