The group's support doesn't reflect each company's views on the tax plan, but it sends a signal that the tech industry is open to higher tax rates.

, like the Business Roundtable and U.S. Chamber of Commerce. While the group's endorsement does not reflect the individual views of each company that funds it, it does send a signal that the tech industry is open to higher tax rates and supports greater infrastructure investment.

"The plan speaks to a lot of goals that I think many people in the tech industry have wanted to see for a long time," Adam Kovacevich, founder and CEO of Chamber of Progress, said in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday. "Certainly all business benefits when there's better infrastructure," he said. "But I really don't think people in the tech industry view it that way. I don't think they're thinking, 'this is great for the bottom line.' Most people in tech think these kind of investments are good for American society and for America's technological leadership in the world, too.

Amazon doesn’t pay taxes

All of the corporations who are 'supporting' a tax hike have a side deal with the government which would make any tax hike irrelevant to their business. Smoke and mirrors.

Democry they say is government by the majority of people but the Biden's Democry is government by the very few elite and corporations...

LOL, I'm sure their stockholders would be happy to hear that. $AMZN $FB $GOOGL

This StockMarket Bubble would be called FAANG Bubble! Per WarrenBuffett INTRINSIC VALUE formula, based on 2019-2020 annual reports, $FB $AAPL $GOOGL $NFLX are significantly overvalued, but $AMZN is worst of them all - overvalued by 1,150% compare to IntrinsicValue!!!

They're only publicly supporting their investment in the WH 'Biden'.

Why was Trump banned?

Of course they do, big business loves tax hikes because it captures their position in the market and prevents new competitors from entering the market

Lol. IN A BIDEN ADMIN WHERE were they during Trump's admin? Sending dick pics?

Do forward not just for your country
