Jeff Bezos comes out in support of increased corporate taxes
On one hand: Good for him. I hear he also does a lot of charity work.<p>On the other hand: Wait wasn&#x27;t it Amazon who cheated on taxes like no other company (compared in size)?<p>After the union shenanigans, his biasedness in the elections or well deserved PR desasters such as the contest for a new headquarter (what a surprise it went where it can influence policy most), I&#x27;m a bit allergic to being nudged to see his moves as all too altruistic.<p>Increasing corporate taxes raises the burden across the board, for competitors and possible future ones. Meanwhile Amazon can afford to have its accounting adjusted to mitigate the impact more efficiently than any competitor could.<p>It cements his position.
