    I’m fine with stopping new tax exemptions, but the ones we already gave were just have to live with. It’s not right to ask for it all back.

    Yes, it is reinvestment, new ideas aren’t free, they cost startup money, it costs money to develop new products and ideas, it’s literally reinvestment of profits back into the company.

        It was given and received, there are no take backs. If you want to complain, complain to the ones who allowed it in the first place.

            Where does the law say we can take it all away and require back pay when the other party didn’t break any rules?

                This doesn’t happen with financial assets though, at least not that I’ve heard of. Can you name an example of " we are going to give you a break on these taxes or fees" then that turns into “you did nothing wrong, but we are going to want those 20 years of unpaid taxes/fees that we told you that you didn’t need to pay, we changed our minds”.

                    Were you not suggesting we require all the tax breaks over the last however many years be paid back in full? If not I just have been mixing you up with one of the other dozens of far left crazies I’ve been chatting with.

                    If you just want to repeal tax breaks that didn’t have a guaranteed life that hasn’t been reached yet, then that’s fine I would probably agree to it depending on the side effects it might cause the middle and lower classes.

        And? His wealth is tied directly to your much Amazon is worth, and it’s worth more of it is successful in reinvesting into itself
