workers do have a say in Bezos' business. workers are free to quit working for his companies at any time. If they feel they are underpaid, they are free to find another employer willing to pay them more for their skill set.
Workers can ban together anytime they want to create a business and share the profits as they see fit.
Our current system allows this. There are few examples of this happening in practice because it's not human nature outside of small tribal bands to be so fiercely egalitarian...but they do exist.
So, what are YOU doing to start a business with your worker friends? Or do you expect to seize something else that someone else bit and then try to run it?
No. All capital is privatized, if you want to start a business, you need capital. Furthermore a for profit model means the number of industries we can go into without the need to own labor is practically none.
Starting a small business (which is very limited being as the means of production are privately owned) is not the same thing as giving everyone free access to labor.

Go to a bank and get a loan. Present a business plan.
If there's enough of you and it's a good enough idea then you'll get a loan. BUILD IT YOURSELF(VES). Stop with your excuses. All you want to do is have stuff other people built confiscated and put into *your* hands.
"Giving everyone free access to labor" is a nonsense concept.

I note this over and over but yet all there ever is in reply is these theoretical replies.
Bezo's did NOT build his wealth on his own. He also built it at the expense of the millions of people who did what they were taught their entire lives and saved for their retirement.

They are free to quit and work for another employer who will treat them the same way. Why would other companies pay them more? It is a race to the bottom. The employer has more options: Hire/import foreigners, invest in more machinery/robots, move to another country to pay workers less, and environmental laws are more flexible, etc.
Workers have to take whatever crumbs the employer is willing to pay, the one side is on a higher position and very often abuse it.

In a society where production is controlled, only a few can gain access to that level of authority. Bank loans won't help people who want to produce freely. And employers have no incentive to give them that freedom as the only goal is personal profit.
Capitalism can't allow everyone to be successful, because there needs to be people to exploit.

One can always create their own business, eschew technology in favor of employing more people and compensate ( wage and benefit) employees well beyond their current market value in the local economy.
How long might that business model survive?
Most of us are not remotely capable of achieving what Bezos has done.
