Here's what I sent to Jeff Bezos about Amazon's support of "People for an Affordable WA,"

To: Jeff @ amazon .com

Dear Jeff:

I am disgusted by Amazon's support of People for an Affordable WA--specifically that your company is one of the top five financial supporters. Washington corporations benefit immensely from the state's low to zero tax rate for corporations. Yet, as the state looks to balance its budget, your company, along with T-Mobile and Microsoft, are encouraging more cuts to people and services through your financial support of People for an Affordable WA, and their goal of preventing more taxes in WA. Classic PROFIT over PEOPLE.

It is time for Amazon, and corporations like Amazon, to pay taxes to Washington State.

Here's my public post about this initiative and Amazon's associations: https://open.substack.com/pub/candidetoday/p/read-my-lips-more-taxes?r=91pkw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I intend to continue to cross-post and remind folks which businesses are defunding Washingtonians.

Sincerely,

Alex
