And that is TOTAL BullShit. I subscribe to the Post, brother. I have for years since the days of Katharine Graham. I would fly into DC on Business trips almost weekly and always picked up a Post before I subscribed. I said for years that the Post was the "best newspaper in America". No longer. Now, I read that trash everyday because I want to see how ridiculous it can become. "Free Market you know. It is now totally Yellow Journalism and their headlines are nothing but sensationalistic. It's totally divisive to the country under this jerk and, unfortunately its more available being on line now than before. If you don't think Bozos is using the Post as his megaphone, I've got a Bridge in the "Global Warmed" Arizona desert to sell you.

I suggest you begin by reading the book. It discusses in great detail what hypocrites these liberals are (such as the Kennedys and Michael Moore). They preach one thing, and then live and do the exact opposite, hence the title of the book- "Do as I say, not as I do."

I'll lend you the book. After you finish it, please give it to X-Man.

"Free market", "Free market", "Free market". Nice job one trick pony Red Herring. Your persistence on disconnected arguments is amazing.

As XU 87 said perfectly: "I think MOR is arguing that Bezos is the classical "Do as I say, not as I do". (recommended reading- Peter Schweizer's book also called - "Do as I Say not as I Do".) " Thanks. Pretty clear, unless the Blue Haze is too thick.

Public Reps because Jeff Bozos has apparently taken over this website and has infiltrated it with his Manure Laden garbage block.

So to be clear: Your response to my entire argument is not to address any of the issues that I brought, but merely to suggest that I read your conservative book by a conservative author? Should I recommend that you watch a Michael Moore documentary? I'm not going to, because I agree that he is a hypocrite and I don't value his opinion, but how would that be any different.

Let's also not act like Hypocrisy is the exclusive domain of liberals. There plenty of folks on the right not practicing what they preach. Particularly the religious right.

Of course none of this really relates Bezos specifically, unless we are going to take the step of equating the WaPo Op Ed content with his personal views.

Please address my questions. Are you claiming that Bezos is paying below market wages? If so, what is the evidence. And if he is paying market wages, as well as all legally required taxes, on what basis are you claiming he should pay more on both counts? Don't you believe in markets? I do because I am an economist.

I do too, Hulk Hogan.

You've settled this one. Unlivable wages are fine as long as the CEO doesn't own a newspaper that has a liberal stance. Great. Otherwise they have to make the paper conservative or operate their business in a non-competitive manner. No point in arguing with this bullet proof logic.

No. Unliveable wages are NOT acceptable, but even more so if the owner of the company that pays those unliveable wages continually A)Rails against them in his megaphone fish wrap, B) Refuses to pay a live able wage in the main company he owns. C) Allows the fish wrap he owns to criticize and downplay companies that were willing to give their employees bonuses when his own company couldn't be bothered. In that case the screamer is just a hypocritical piece of trash. Pretty simple. #Bulletproof

Congratulations. Karl Marx was an economist too.
