If it only worked that way. Your only concern is when you believe a company should be paying people a little more. So If they fire the all the workers and move the factory out of the country, that is no concern of yours?

Indeed, the soft media consensus is that Bezos (who has donated in the past to the Reason Foundation) is a quiet libertarian, though thankfully not the scary kind. "People who know Mr. Bezos describe his political views as libertarian, with a small 'l,'" The New York Times reported.

Tucker is spot-on, as usual. I don't know how you conclude he's not.

Bezos ultimately is a open-borders Globalist who couldn't give a rat's --- about Americans.

Trying to reason with someone who gets their "facts" from cable news talking heads is impossible.


You stated Bezos is a far left liberal. You are wrong no matter what your buddy Tucker Carlson says.

It is true though that MSNBC and CNN made flattering statements about Bezos.

If you want to pick and choose news stories to try to paint a company or person a certain way how about this:


Amazon blasts Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over Jeff Bezos comments: 'These allegations are absurd'
https://www.deseretnews.com/article/...bezos-aoc.html

Bernie Sanders Blasts Donald Trump, Amazon Owner Jeff Bezos, Congress-Owning Pharma At CNN Town Hall
https://www.deseretnews.com/article/...bezos-aoc.html


There is no huge love affair with Bezos/Amazon and the far left.

Actually Tucker agreed with Cortez. He might have agreed w Sanders as well as I recall. Which means....I guess Tucker Carlson is a "far left" guy?

Tucker has taken some far left viewpoints of late. He did work for CNN for a long time.

Here he praises Elizabeth Warren:

I don't know what he really believes inside because he does a "show" and its all about ratings. Same for the idiots on CNN and MSNBC. So I would not take anything he says seriously.

Last year he put a so called professor who was touted as an expert on Russia on to defend Trump and Trump's public display of affection with Putin.

For the past couple decades this professor has been on the Russia payroll and is the most discredited person on the subject yet Carlson put him on as though he know more than anyone else.

He takes "nationalist" view points at times. Are nationalist viewpoints "left" or "right"?

Tucker isn't "far left" in any way. He is what we might call a "paleoconservative".
