Taking money from Bezos won't help Democrats fix their schools

Democrats think that taking money from billionaires to throw at problems will magically fix them. One look at public schools should be enough to disprove that theory.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos made some waves criticizing socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the city’s public school spending. Bezos claimed that doubling what he paid in taxes wouldn’t help a teacher in Queens, which predictably drew progressive ire like moths to a flame. Mamdani countered, “I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ,” while California billionaire governor candidate Tom Steyer swore that Bezos’s claim was “bulls***.”
