Which is, again, made legal by the legislators.
But Warren certainly isn't going to to against her fellow lawmakers and remind the public that letting corporation lobby their ways is a legislative choice. Instead she chose to go after the easy target where she can whine... while still effectively doing nothing!
Depends on her goals. If it's to make sure Amazon pays more taxes, yes. If it's to score Twitter Points with her base, then no.
So you're saying that to get something done, she should publicly berate the people she will need cooperation from? After all, they are the ones who believed the bullshit the lobby spent millions concocting, they're the ones truly at fault.
she is exactly one elected representative facing opposition from countless of people who literally have their political campaigns bankrolled by the very powers she is supposed to stand up against.
Is Warren empress of the United States and can just wish legislation into reality or am I missing something?
Bezos is the richest person in the world, and it's obvious the lobbyists he pays to copypasta the text of laws and get politicians doing his bidding by ensuring "$upport" motivate them to benefit the rich like him.
Americans have a "minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy" compared to the rich.
Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
I'll have to agree with Amazon on this one.
Legislators whine about corporations not paying taxes while making it legal for them to do so... Why not simply write laws that forces them to pay? It's not like it's their job to write the laws...
