You don't get it. She's aptly taking advantage of a liberal trend which is negative sentiment to companies causing income stratification in their respective and potential locations.

She doesn't really care about the underlying cause. If that was so then your points would be valid.

But look at how many news articles got published and how many people are getting excited about the thought. Being against successful technology companies is currently what liberals want and she's feeding her party.

Fascinating. This implies that Facebook, Amazon, Google are hated because they pay their rank and file employees well, instead of senior management and shareholders ahoarding all the wealth like traditional big companies do.

She's been calling out large companies for her whole political career, motivated by the inequity she saw in her previous career in bankruptcy law.
