Tax Amazon

Tax Amazon seems a very modest proposal considering the extensive profits of firms like Amazon and the widespread suffering of working people. In the UK, for example, 6.5 million people who are in work are living in poverty. Remember that when the Tories boast about falling levels of unemployment.

Imagine the possibilities if firms like Amazon were expropriated.

Tax Amazon wrote to me:-

Our movement to Tax Amazon and build thousands of green, union-built, affordable homes has tremendous momentum.
Guess who’s scared?

Amazon. Microsoft. Alaska Airlines. The Chamber of Commerce. And Mayor Jenny Durkan.
They all are petrified after last fall’s election, which served as a repudiation of the corporate attempt to take over our elections. And on the heels of powerful grassroots momentum to Tax Amazon and big business on a scale commensurate with the gravity of the crisis, the political establishment and big business are pushing a new bill in Olympia, House Bill 2907, as an alternative.  
Please sign and share our petition today to say: Tax big business, not working people! No ban on progressive taxation! 
While any serious efforts to build affordable housing with progressive funding should be welcomed, we cannot let this bill stop our movement to make big business pay its fair share.
