RE: Jeff Bezos: Self-made man?

So spot on here! It never ceases to amaze me that we overlook the voluminous amounts of subsidies and government support that goes into companies like Amazon and Walmart. The sheer volume of welfare support needed when a Walmart moves into an area and under-employs the population is staggering. Not to mention the small businesses that go under because they must (and believe they should) pay their employees a liveable wage and don't import their goods from countries employing child labor to keep profit margins high. I support your work and love that your organization exists. Thanks so much!
