Just think, Bezos makes many times more than the average worker yet does not produce as much as they do. He should be paid less by the rules of input/output but because he controls the distribution of cash he makes the most.

Corporate CEOs generally lack basic trade skills that are needed to keep a society functioning and moral in nature, instead they are skilled at winning state subsidies, cutting financial costs that don't directly benefit their bottom line, and outsourcing production AND marketing. This is why when Obama or Trump selects one of them to help the US economy, they fail, because they have no real skills.

These concepts are basic yet everyone criticizes Bernie on this one tweet, why?

Coming from the guy who has people send him on average $27 at the click of a button on the internet without even getting a physical product in return, just a wind bag full of lies.

The amount you produce is the amount you get. Either in the form of some currency of exchange or excess production in a cashless one.

Either way the corporate model gives money to those who own the capital, not the ones who labor with it.

Don't like Bezos? Don't buy from his company.

Problem solved. Wasn't that easy?

I don't, obviously. My question arises from why so many Americans are blinded by wealth to thinking Bezos personally adds to our economy or earned his money and therefore needs to defended. Why was this simple fact stated by Bernie criticized so?

Why does Bernie allow Amazon to sell his books, for which he receives the bulk of his income from, if corporations are truly so evil to him?

And his other source of income ($174K) from the Senate ain't clean either. That's stolen at gunpoint...therefore can't be remotely moral...unless you're a Marxist.

Oh wait.
