"Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year paying more than $1,000 a month in taxes?" Bezos said Wednesday morning on CNBC. "That's $1,000 that could help with rent, or groceries, or anything."

“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington,” the Amazon chairman said.

Speaking on CNBC, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos used the example of a nurse in Queens earning $75,000 per year as someone who shouldn't have to pay tax.
