Republican Colorado Rep. Ken Buck is calling out the Biden administration’s invitation for Amazon to sponsor National Small Business Week.
First proclaimed during the Kennedy administration, National Small Business Week was intended to “recogniz[e] the contribution of small business to our prosperous society.” According to the Small Business Administration, a small business can earn up to $40 million per year, and can employ up to 1,500 people. Other hosts of national Small Business Week include tech giants like Meta, Google, and Microsoft, and financial services firms like Visa, Square, and Chase.
“This decision is misguided and incomprehensible given Amazon’s history of growing its monopoly power by destroying competing, smaller businesses,” Buck wrote Friday to President Joe Biden and Small Business Administrator Isabella Guzman, in a letter obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller. “Amazon is willing to forfeit making a profit on a product if it means becoming its sole online seller.”
