The tweets were spurred by one from President Biden on Friday, which said: “You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.”

Mr. Bezos responded by saying the two issues should be discussed separately. “Mushing them together is just misdirection,” he tweeted…

“In fact, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already overheated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesn’t help the country,” Mr. Bezos tweeted…

Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the White House, said in a statement that “it doesn’t require a huge leap to figure out why” Mr. Bezos would oppose Mr. Biden’s economic proposals that would raise taxes on the wealthy.

“It’s also unsurprising that this tweet comes after the president met with labor organizers, including Amazon employees.”
