1:05Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year paying more than $1,000 a month in taxes?
In some, Mr. Bezos, sit down. I think you talking about cutting the taxes of people making less than $75,000. Like, how do I figure out an Amazon-size eye roll? And the fact that this guy is also saying in the same breath, with the same interview with CNBC, that there's no way that raising his taxes would help that same nurse in Queens. No, actually, it would. Even if we don't create additional programs, it would at least reduce the deficit. There's just no getting around it.
In today's office hours, we discuss Jeff Bezos' take on taxes, the origin story behind Raging Moderates, and how to survive in a toxic workplace. I imagine a few of our employees wrote in that question. Um, just thought of that. Haven't seen these questions. Don't see them. Don't read them before we get them, so you get that raw, authentic feel. Anyways, question number one. Our first question comes from KGL on Substack. They ask, "What do you think about Bezos' statement on taxes?" Okay. Well, let's listen to what he said.
