He's not actually anti-Amazon, the postal system is not losing because of them, and he definitely doesn't care about people's Alexas listening to them.

    So don't pretend like you care about Amazon making minimal taxable income. A company not giving the government money and instead investing it back into the economy is a fiscal conservative dream scenario.
    “Investing back into the economy” ....with a trash pay scale where workers are on food stamps and Bezos is worth billions.

    They pay above minimum wage. I don't know what to tell you if you expect a corporation to pay workers more than they need to.

    I don't know what this even means. Not liking Bezos for any one of a number of reasons is totally fine, but at least make an argument that makes sense and isn't just partisan talking points.

    Are you a socialist? Should Bezos give back some of his money to pay employees more? Why? Because you don't like him? Amazon employees a large number of employees across a wide variety of pay scales, including many highly paid employees. They pay what the market dictates that the need to pay because this is America.

    My complaint with Amazon's market cap for years has been that they haven't returned a lot of profit, however they have actually shown the ability to grow their profit in recent years. I'm not sure that their market influence is good for the overall economy, but again, this is America. Unless they become monopolistic they are entitled to grow market share.

    This sounds like it was written by Trump. Especially the last part. Sad!
