require 'concessions from all sides' Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has come out in support of President Joe Biden's $2 trillion infrastructure plan, including the corporate-tax hike. "We recognize this investment will require concessions from all sides - both on the specifics of what's included as well as how it gets paid for (we're supportive of a rise in the corporate tax rate)," Bezos wrote in a statement shared on Amazon's Twitter account, calling the plan "a bold investment in American infrastructure."
