That’s rich, Jeff

-

Amazon founder and world’s richest man Jeff Bezos is launching a $2bn fund to “help homeless families and build a network of preschools”. Which is lovely. But, of course, if Amazon paid proper taxes, preschools in this country would be far better off and we could build far more social housing too.

If he paid proper wages and treated parents fairly, that would help families keep a roof over their heads and do more to help young children than his vanity projects.

Once he’s paid up, the $163billion man can invest where he likes. But it’s not either/or. We decide where your taxes go Jeff. It’s called democracy.

“We’ll use the same set of principles that have driven Amazon,” Bezos says.

So, apparently none.
