The editorial board at Jeff Bezos’s newspaper railed against a wealth tax without noting the Amazon founder stands to benefit from its tax policy prescriptions.
We have known since he bought one of the most respected papers in the country that he would bend it to the protection of his political beliefs and his wallet. The damage to the paper's reputation may prove lethal.
I can’t imagine why lowering the current estate and gift tax exemption of $30 million for married couples to, say, $10 million would not be consistent with “prioritizing healthy public finances.” We are running Federal deficits of one trillion dollars a year, are we not?
It’s no secret that Cheeto has a cadre of kiss ass billionaires around him to buoy his shit policies and regime It’s also no secret that there is a huge wealth gap in this country with billionaires getting richer as the middle and lower income classes struggle to make ends meet Only an asshole like Cheeto would dream up a scheme to buy votes with less than a promise he would follow through
Michael Dell of Dell Computers is making a “donation” to kids of low income families to the tune of $6B (yes that’s with a “B”) to fund what will be called “Trump accounts” Of course this is not out of the generous heart of Dell He’s been cajoled to make a Republican Nazi “business deal” donation for Cheeto so he can make good with his “Trump accounts”
This money according to the deal will be invested for the children So what makes this different than Dell investing for himself? And what happens when Cheeto is not president? Will the money get pulled and go away? So this is just another Cheeto grift to possibly persuade some voters who don’t know any better And furthermore BOYCOTT Dell There are plenty of other good computer companies out there In short any company that contributes to this Nazi regime should be boycotted eg Target, HP, Home Depot, Avelo Air, Amazon, Spotify, WaPo, AT&T, TMobile, Comcast etc, etc, (https://bit.ly/4oB62p4)
Who would expect anything less. After bribes they gave to dt! They have always a country where the wealthy are able to hide their illicit gains. One thief to another !
His purchase of most respected newspapers killed freedom of speech at once. It also seems to have killed any accountability for any assets or earnings for the very rich. I wonder when people will put together this information, take a look at Trump and finally, see the light bulb over there heads turn on. Greed. Pure and simple. It takes time for a comfortable middle class to feel the pinch in their own home. when they do? THEN they will cry unfair. And it will be too late
Media should be required to include statements of conflict of interest when stories they report on, or even those they exclude from publication, are so treated because they conflict with the well-being of their corporate owners or the wishes and interests of owners, Boards of Directors or major shareholders or major advertising sponsirs. The absence of such disclosures should signal consumers to stop and consider the validity of such publications as a source of accurate news, truthful presentation of facts. If food and medicine requires warning labels, so should food for thought, the media we need to make informed choice and to inform ourself of bias and mis-information in news reporting. Opinion pieces should never be represented as news stories and siting sources and data for fact-based issues, like science and health, nutrition and medicine should be part of any media reporting, especially in the Press.
You cannot expect Bezos or anyone including Zeteo, to propose anything that is going to hurt them or their organization in any significant way. This should not surprise anyone.
Billionaires don’t seem to realize that whatever taxes are passed they will still be billionaires and never be able to spend it all.
After so much money, even greed becomes pointless.

I have nothing to do with these idiots buying a media source and then destroying them for their own gain. How much money more does this MoFo need?

The WAPost position is consistent with its past as well as its current editorial policy.
