write checks to fund the next round of stimulus checks for US workers and have billions left over to live on. The tech oligarchs have amassed BILLIONS more in wealth since the pandemic. Bezos alone has made $90 billion since the pandemic began.
So let's understand this big tech oligarchs from Facebook, Twitter, Google and Amazon amass massive amounts of wealth during a pandemic while workers struggled to survive. In 2018 Amazon paid ZERO federal income tax and actually got a $129 million dollar refund on $11 BILLION in profits. They did pay 1.2% taxes or $162 million in 2019. First time since 2016 they paid any federal income tax.
Google, Microsoft and Facebook pay between 6%-and 16% on Billions in profit. Did anybody here know that Amazon won a $10 billion DoD contract for cloud services and Microsoft sued. The courts decided Microsoft was the better vendor and best value so now Amazon and JEFF BEZOS filed a lawsuit against the government saying TRUMP and the admin were bias against Amazon. WOW....just WOW. And now Amazon is deplatforming conservative sites. Shutting down any political enemies of the left is even better than donating cash.
So these guys pile up unimaginable amounts of personal wealth off Americans and American tax dollars. Pay very little in taxes and then use their power to work with a political party to censor 74 million voters, deplatform businesses, and control the flow of information to the entire country. We now know who the modern Robber Barons are and who support them.
