Bernie Sanders’ ‘Stop BEZOS’ bill targets worker pay at Amazon and Walmart
“Named the Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies, or the Stop BEZOS Act after Amazon(AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, Sanders’ bill would levy a tax on large companies equal to the value of the public benefits that their workers receive. He argues that if employers paid a living wage, taxpayers would save $150 billion a year on the government assistance programs, including food stamps, Medicaid and public housing.”
