    I say we give it a try and see if Bezos is right. If it doesn’t help much, let’s try taxing him significantly more and see if that helps. And if that doesn’t work well enough… you get the plan here.

      Honestly, this is a really good point. We’ve been trying conservative bullshit (massive tax cuts for the wealthy, huge handouts and ball-cradling for huge MNCs, as well as deregulation) for several decades now, and they keep claiming they didn’t do it hard enough and that’s why it failed.

      Let’s try reversing that. And if it doesn’t work immediately, just do it more, repeatedly, for a few decades and we’ll see if it helps the middle class…
