Such a pity that companies like Amazon blackmail / influence / bribe politicians in such a way that they never pay taxes.

Ordinary people have to foot the bill, for everything

Sorry Amazon but I'm not feeling sorry for you even though you are now turning on Ocasio-Cortez.

Very difficult for conservatives to side with greedy libtard gazillionaire Bezos vs delusional, airhead libtard AOC. Like we always say, let the left eat themselves.

I don't recall any woman in my 40+ years that in some instances (boston brats vid) I would fuck her silly, and then in pictures like this she looks like a dressed up cave woman and makes me think I'd run if I saw her IRL

Edit: After quickly reading through article, all they are doing is fueling her.  Amazon should just STFU, and go with the next best deal.  I bet AOC has her staffers ordering magazine and newspaper sized picture frames off Amazon daily to hang shit like this on her office wall like their awards.

To answer her dumb question on Twitter about why support Amazon when they contribute $0 to the pot?  First that's misleading, and secondly, even if it were true the 25,000 people making $100-150K+ every year certainly will contribute to the pot. 

Has she ever looked at a paystub to see what's withheld, and what the company is obligated to match and/or pay some of as well?  Oh, that's right...she worked as a fuckin waitress/bartender where the only thing those employees pay taxes on is their hourly wage....about 1/4 - 1/3 of what they truly make.  Where's her outrage about that?

There is some poetic justice in Bezos owning a newspaper which has attacked Trump with nonstop vitriol for years only to get the same coming from the left.

I get the feeling these tech companies don’t understand how far to the left the left really is. If the AOC’s and her ilk had their way, the existence of a Bezos would be impossible.

When you become large and successful, you become a target for socialists to take your shit:


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-12/california-governor-proposes-digital-dividend-targeting-big-tech

“California’s consumers should also be able to share in the wealth that is created from their data,” Newsom said. “And so I’ve asked my team to develop a proposal for a new data dividend for Californians, because we recognize that data has value and it belongs to you.”

Newsom didn’t describe what form the dividend might take, although he said “we can do something bold in this space.” He also praised a tough California data-privacy law that will kick in next year.”

I'm really at odds in my head over this and the NY thing.  On the one hand, I want Cali and NY to just keep taking from their people and eating their own to the point where they finally flee and have to live among real men and real women....you know people that actually say what they mean and mean what they say....

These little SJW pussies will feel like fish outta water.  If they move to a red state, and go to a bar some big burly dude is gonna say "son, have a shot of this here Jack while I explain how things work around here"  to which they'll reply "umm,..that doesn't sound very delicious.  Don't you have Apple flavored Jack at least.... oh my god, have you ever had a shot of sex on the beach?", and Big Burly man says, "son, like i said i'm going to tell you how things work around here, and to answer your question that pretty little gf of yours over in the corner wiping her mouth just sucked my dick in the bathroom. The toilet flushes while others went in and out watching her blow me reminded me of of waves crashing, and that's good enough for me." LOL!

On the other hand, mass migration by leftists could spread their diseased thinking across the nation, and I don't wanna see our country get worse than it has.  Trump is not divisive, Barry was.  People that didn't like him (yes mostly conservative whites) mostly kept quiet, and waited to let their voices be heard in 2016.  The election results were the reflection of the divide barry created, and those that had enough spoke up calmly and respectfully with their vote.  Is there on single conservative "celebrity" that directly Tweeted Obama while he was POTUS that he was a racist, a POS, an asshole, or told him to fuck off?  How about any that held up a fake barry head dripping with blood?  Someone please post it if it happened.

One side is rational and the other is emotional.

It was New York that made them that offer.

And in regard to taxes, money just taken by the government, why do you think the money is in better hands with the government, who just confiscate it, then the people and companies that actually had to earn it?

No need to feel sorry for Amazon. They lost nothing. There are other States tripping over themselves offering incentives to have Amazon locate their HQ2 there. It was Amazon that rejected New York.

Never pay taxes?  You do realize they were going to pay almost 30 BILLION in taxes over the next 25 years to New York, right?  How many "ordinary people"does it take to generate that much tax revenue?

Berkshire’s Charlie Munger has a very blunt response to those ‘driving rich people away’ as Amazon scraps HQ2

‘It’s been serious. Driving the rich people out is pretty dumb if you’re a state or a city.’

“They’re old. They keep your hospitals busy. They don’t burden your schools, the police department, your prisons. They give a lot. Who wouldn’t want rich people?”

“There are a number of places that have shot themselves in the foot; Connecticut, California, New York City,” Munger told CNBC. The 95-year-old Munger, who is vice chairman of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, is known for his methodical, straight-talking, and unequivocating responses.

I can't stand Munger (or Buffett), but the old coot is on point here.
