“One of America’s most powerful politicians has said he’s going to destroy an American company so they can no longer criticize him,” he said. Amazon tweeted in response Unusual The tweet in which Warren suggested splitting up Big Tech So they can’t “Control the Senators.”
It is extraordinary and expressive. She is one of the most powerful politicians in the United States and has said that she is going to overthrow an American company so that she cannot criticize it. https://t.co/Nt0wcZo17g

The charge came from Warren, who accused the company of exploitation “Holes and tax havens where almost nothing in taxes has to be paid.”
Giant companies like Amazon make huge profits for their shareholders – but they exploit loopholes and tax havens and pay nothing in taxes. This is not fair – this is why I am going to introduce a bill to ensure that the most profitable companies pay their fair share. pic.twitter.com/vPrmGbjUKW

“You create tax laws enSenWarren; we follow them. If you do not like the laws you create, change them by all means.” The Amazon senator tweeted that the company was breaking taxes and generating jobs from sales.
2/3 By 2020, we had an additional 7 1.7 billion federal taxes, which is more than the 18 billion we have generated in sales taxes for states and locals in Congress. He designed American tax laws to encourage investment in the economy.

Warren recently proposed a tax that would increase the tax burden on the wealthy in the United States, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who could pay billions in additional taxes under the new plan.
In their latest attack, Amazon targeted senator Bernie Sanders (i-Vermont) “Speak and act.”
“Sensanders has been a powerful politician in Vermont for 30 years. His minimum wage is still $ 75 11.75. Amazon has $ 15 and better health care since day one. Sanders prefers to talk in Alabama than he does in Vermont.” The company tweeted.
There is a big difference between speaking and doing. En sensors He has been a powerful politician in Vermont for 30 years and his minimum wage is still 75 11.75. $ 15 and better health care from the first day on Amazon. Sanders will speak in Alabama rather than starring in Vermont.

In Saturday tweets responding to the plot, Sanders praised Alabama Amazon workers for trying to organize, suggesting that this could still happen in several states.
If Amazon workers succeed in forming a union in Alabama, they will be in Mississippi. They will do it in Tennessee. They will do it in Georgia. They will do it all over America.
And instead of a race bottom, we will see an increase in living standards across the country.

This country belongs not only to a few billionaires, but to all of us.

Sanders did not respond directly to Amazon’s message about the minimum wage – although he did support the $ 15 minimum wage per hour.
Many conservatives have praised Amazon’s response to Warren on social media, although some have pointed to the company’s own history of being accused of censoring right-wing thinkers, including teachers.
It is a company that promotes conservative auditing. @amazonnews How do you feel about being on the side of your own campaign? #KarmaIsABitch https://t.co/3ezqFaQTpF

Corporate collaborators, remember that allowing and expanding government power over society does not avoid the wrath of the tyrants you execute https://t.co/pRspMZTiLs

Others, however, were quick to defend Warren against big business, calling Amazon’s response aggressive and an example of this. Trumpification de Big Tech.
Facebook Spokesperson @andystone A thug on Twitter for some time. Now @amazonnews Started out as a troll account. Attractive development in the current trumpification of Big Tech https://t.co/M8h5dpAxzk

It is extraordinary and expressive. One of America’s most powerful institutions (and the world) cannot take criticism from a politician without acting as one of the world’s most powerful children. https://t.co/H1GNasfLp9

I have been in public relations for about 20 years. This is a very bad reaction for an enterprise, which earns billions a month. No one on earth thinks the Amazon is a victim of anything. If they think they are going to win people’s opinion about it, it is a mistake. https://t.co/vtCzUaE3kw
