Garys Economics · Why Jeff Bezos wants to cut your taxes · 31 May 2026 podcast

You're an idiot.

There's no economists, you know.

And then we go and pull out seven Nobel Prize winning economists, you know, and Gabriel Zucman from France and say, listen, you know, we've got them.

We've got the economists.

We're winning.

Jeff Bezos is a very wealthy man and he's not going to waste his time and his money buying newspapers and coming out on TV and arguing he shouldn't be taxed unless we were winning.

You know, we forced them into this.

And when I see these guys coming out and, you know,

putting themselves on the front lines, kind of stupidly, to be honest.

Jeff Bezos trying to make himself like the voice on opposing wealth taxes, I think is kind of stupid.

But it shows them that we've got them backed into a corner here.

And I didn't believe this for years and years and years and years and years.

But the fact is, I do think we're going to win.

I do think we're going to win.

But we can't be complacent.

When Jeff Bezos comes out and makes those arguments, we do need to understand that some people are going to listen to that.

We cannot let the billionaires be the voice of aspiration.

Listen, if you look at countries where people have been able to go from poverty to being rich, these were not countries which had aggressively growing inequality.

If you allow your country to be a country where the poor get poorer every year and the rich get richer every year, that will not be a world where ordinary people like you can get into being financially secure.

We need to move away from an economic system where wealth is being drained away from the many and accumulated by the super rich and towards an economic system where wealth circulates around.
