I think that's a very, very good and fair idea.

We should also still raise taxes on billionaires and corporations.

That's how we're going to pull the money back.

But it's important to remember, Bezos wants us to think

that he's like, look, if you just raise my individual taxes, that money right there isn't going to pay for all the things that you want.

Sure, Jeff, that's right.

That's why we're not raising it just on you.

We're raising it on all 930 billionaires in the United States.

It's why we're also not just going after your income, but I think we have to go after the wealth as well.

The wealth that they sit on, the wealth that they never actually

bring into the real world so they never pay capital gains on it, but they borrow against it happily so they can have liquidity to go through their lives.

Of course, Jeff Bezos is going to tell us that if we raise his taxes, things won't get better.

He doesn't want us to raise his taxes.

He's a greedy person.

I mean, that makes perfect sense to me that he would say that.

He's just entirely wrong and self-serving.

Partially, that's why we are so focused on movement building.

It's why I am so focused on building these like coalitions with labor and with community groups.

Because as we build power that way, from the ground up, as we build a powerful broad-based coalition,

that is going to be able to keep pressure, not just on other representatives, but also on myself.
