It's time for Jeff Bezos and his pals to pay their fair share, Pamela

We need to elect leaders to the Senate who aren't afraid to take a little heat from rich dudes like anti-union, anti-worker Jeff Bezos.

Pamela, For months, brave workers in Alabama worked tirelessly in unfair conditions to unionize their warehouse. But on Friday, news broke that Amazon held on to enough power to quash their movement. The union drive was defeated. This came after Amazon and Jeff Bezos used a number of dirty tricks and disgusting union-busting tactics to quash the union drive. Bezos is worth $192 BILLION, (that's $192,000,000,000 written out with all the zeroes, FYI) and yet he continues to screw over and exploit the men and women who made it all possible. It's an absolute disgrace. Our country urgently needs to protect the sacred union way of life that built our nation. But you know what else we need, Pamela? We urgently need wealthy corporations to pay their fair share in taxes. It's mind-numbingly outrageous that, while working-class Pennsylvanians are busy paying our fair share, giant corporations and the very wealthiest get away with paying *next to nothing* in taxes compared to the billions they rake in. Getting billionaires like Bezos to pay their fair share would enable us to fund things like health care as a basic right for all, affordable higher education, and *massive* investments in green infrastructure and jobs to combat our climate crisis. But the one thing standing in the way is that not enough of our leaders in Congress have the courage to get it done. If you agree that giant, multi-billion dollar corporations and the very wealthiest in our country should pay their fair share in taxes — just like the rest of us — add your name to my petition right now. It's time for Bezos and his billionaire friends to invest in our country and its working people. ADD YOUR NAME The union way of life is sacred. It built this nation. We have to put power directly into the hands of workers — but we can't stop there. Finally standing up to gigantic, multi-billion dollar corporations like Amazon and making them pay their fair share in taxes would enable our country to make major investments in things like COVID relief, health care, infrastructure, affordable housing, and education for all. And the best part? We can actually do this, Pamela. We just need to elect leaders to the Senate who aren't afraid to take a little heat from rich dudes like anti-union, anti-worker Jeff Bezos. Say it with me, Pamela: It's time to unrig our economy, close the historically-high wealth gap, and make giant corporations pay their fair share in this country.
