During his chat with Andrew Ross Sorkin, Bezos pointed out that even though the economy is doing well at the top, many folks are still struggling. He made a case that a nurse making $75,000 shouldn't be hit with a hefty tax load, arguing that cutting taxes for lower-income workers would be a more effective approach than just focusing on billionaires.
