Amazon Executive Chair Jeff Bezos recently articulated a series of economic proposals and political assessments during a televised interview with CNBC.

亞馬遜執行主席傑夫·貝佐斯最近在 CNBC 的電視採訪中，闡述了一系列經濟提案與政治評估。

Regarding fiscal policy, Bezos advocated for the total elimination of federal income taxes for the bottom 50% of U.S. earners. He characterized the current system as 'absurd,' citing the financial burden on low-to-middle-income professionals, such as nurses in New York City, whose tax contributions represent a negligible fraction of total federal revenue. Bezos posited that the United States suffers from a spending inefficiency rather than a revenue deficit, asserting that increasing the tax liability of ultra-high-net-worth individuals would not materially improve the socioeconomic conditions of the working class.

關於財政政策，貝佐斯主張應完全取消美國底層 50% 收入者的聯邦所得稅。他將目前的制度形容為「荒謬」，並指出中低收入專業人士（如紐約市的護理師）承受著財務負擔，而其稅收貢獻在聯邦總收入中僅佔極小部分。貝佐斯認為美國面臨的是支出效率低下而非收入不足，並主張增加超高淨值人士的稅務責任並不會實質改善勞工階級的社會經濟狀況。

In the realm of municipal governance, Bezos expressed support for the 'pied-à-terre' tax proposed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, which targets non-primary residences valued above $5 million. Despite this alignment, Bezos criticized the Mayor's public identification of specific wealthy individuals, such as Ken Griffin, as 'villains.' This tension was further evidenced by Mayor Mamdani's subsequent rejection of Bezos's claim that increased taxes on billionaires would be ineffective for public servants.

在市政治理領域，貝佐斯對紐約市長 Zohran Mamdani 提議的「度假屋」稅（pied-à-terre tax）表示支持，該稅項針對價值 500 萬美元以上的非主要居所。儘管立場一致，但貝佐斯批評市長在公開場合將 Ken Griffin 等特定富豪標榜為「反派」。隨後，Mamdani 市長否認了貝佐斯關於「增加億萬富翁稅收對公務員無效」的說法，進一步證明了兩者之間的緊張關係。

On the subject of artificial intelligence, Bezos dismissed concerns regarding labor displacement. He hypothesized that AI would augment human productivity and induce deflationary pressures on goods and services, provided that regulatory frameworks do not prematurely inhibit technological development. Furthermore, Bezos offered a positive assessment of President Donald Trump's second term, describing the administration as more disciplined and mature than the first. He denied allegations that Amazon's production of a documentary on Melania Trump was intended to secure political favor, characterizing the project as a prudent commercial decision.

在人工智能議題上，貝佐斯對勞動力被取代的擔憂不以為意。他假設，只要監管框架不會過早抑制技術發展，AI 將提升人類生產力，並對商品與服務產生通貨緊縮壓力。此外，貝佐斯對唐納·川普總統的第二任期給予正面評價，形容該政府比第一任期更自律且成熟。他否認亞馬遜拍攝梅拉尼婭·川普紀錄片是為了獲取政治好感，將其定義為一次謹慎的商業決定。

Bezos continues to advocate for a nonpartisan engagement between business leaders and the executive branch while promoting a tax shift toward the total exemption of lower-income earners.

貝佐斯持續倡導企業領袖與行政部門之間建立非黨派的參與關係，同時推動稅收轉向，旨在全面豁免低收入者的稅賦。
