This seems to not be the consensus amongst all corporate America[0]. It does seem that Jeff Bezos and Amazon have ulterior motives whenever an announcement like this comes out. See $15 minimum wage. I get the feeling that this will hurt their competitors more then them.
I was in support of raising the corporate tax rate, but an announcement like this makes me rethink that.
The infrastructure bill is obviously needed, where should the money come from? It seems to me the 1% should be paying for it somehow. A wealth tax? Increase the capitol gains tax? A carbon tax? It might not seem fair to say as long as Bezos hates it I'm on board, but we shouldn't be letting the richest person in the world decide our tax policy.
