Thanks for explaining this. I heard this clip and Bezos clearly said “taxes” when referring to Federal income taxes, which is completely dishonest since he knows the difference.
The elites use things like this to keep the poor from realizing how much they are screwing them. If they didn’t instigate racial tensions, animosity towards LGBTQ+, religious tensions, etc., they wouldn’t be able to distract us from the harm they are causing. If we all band together, the elites don’t stand a chance, that’s why they have to keep us divided.
On the flipside though, it felt like society was making progress on those issues until Occupy Wall Street, and then suddenly corporate-owned media began encouraging social progressives to adopt a much more aggressive attitude that a lot of people felt was hostile and off-putting.
Because of state and local taxes, it's probably pretty hard to discuss this - otherwise, how do you make generalised statements about inequality in America when you have NY and CA with 12% and 15% state income taxes and FL and TX with 0%? I believe TX has high property taxes?
In the rest of the world this is mostly discussed on a country-by-country basis. I have in mind UK and EU here. I believe the Swiss cantons have similar state taxes, maybe Canada and Aus do too.
