We know why Trump wants to make personal attacks on Jeff Bezos -- it's because he owns the WA Post.

What seems curious is that any progressives would want to attack Bezos personally -- to the extent of naming an anti-large corporation bill after him.

They could have named the BEZOS bill after the Walton family, the Koch brothers, Zuckerberg, or any number of other targets. Or not named it after a particular person at all.

But they're naming their bill after the owner of the Washington Post.

Trump/Putin must be happy.

3. trump hates the Washington post because of their reporting on his ties to Putin

4. I think it's because he is the richest man in the world

The irony is that in order to maintain his excessive wealth Bezos employees are paid so little that the government has to subsidize them with food stamps and other assistance. In turn, our tax dollars are subsidizing the richest man in the world to help his personal wealth increase.

Rather than use his morbidly excessive wealth to pay his workers a living wage he would rather spend it on more important hobbies like space travel.

There needs to be a spotlight put on this.

5. Right. But how does Putin have anything to do with this?

I guess I'm confused

7. I don't think Trump does anything except to curry favor with Putin. n/t

9. Bezos is successful. Trump isn't. Jealousy. nt

6. Putin hates what is left of our free press. n/t

2. Bezos also has more money.

8. Amazon has sharply reduced retail rent Trump collects

On line sales reduce brick and mortar sales. The value of Trumps retail spaces is sharply lower because of Amazon. That’s why he hates Bezos.

10. Naming it after Bezos sure makes it smell like a Bill of Attainder.
