But how would I be able to afford another yacht that follows my other yachts around?
—Bezos
Man, if I was a billionaire I’d be Bruce Wayne. Building hospitals, funding science and medical issues, taking care of the homeless and substance abuse problems. They’d name planets after me.
Multiple studies have actually shown that Airbnb does in fact cause higher rents.
Do these motherfuckers always have to gaslight?
He is right, if you doubled the taxes **he** pays, that isn’t going to help teachers in Queens.
He probably isn’t paying a lot of taxes to begin with and his “income” is just untaxed loans. And that Mr Bezoz is precisely the problem.
That’s why nobody proposed doubling the tax Jeff Bezoz pays. If you instead taxed *all* billionaires based on their *wealth*, then yes, that absolutely would help (everybody that isn’t a billionaire).
>”You could double the taxes I pay, and it is not going to help”
Well, then it sounds like maybe we should triple, or quadruple it even. And that is AFTER we close every weasely little loophole this fuckin dragon uses to make it so he pays so little, that “doubling it” wouldn’t do much.
The nasally whining, and protestations of the leech class only make folks more and more steadfast in wanting to see “billionaires”,as a concept, become a cautionary fiction of the past.
Every single bloody red cent, over a billion dollars, should be taxed at 100%. Not a singe soul can justify that much greed & excess, and none can truthfully say they got that much equitably and without exploitation.
These guys need to learn were gunna tax them one way or another
Bezos is right, since 2 times 0 is 0. Doubling his taxes won’t work, but Bernie’s 5% tax on billionaire wealth (not earnings), would fix a lot of problems.
“Don’t be mad at me! It’s the poors stealing all your money!”
Get ‘em Bernie!
“Why would I want to pay a 5% tax when I could keep paying less in taxes than the average middle class worker?” – Bezos probably. Billionaires are the scum of the earth and no one with a functioning brain should feel any form of sympathy for any of them.
Man people have got to get over this, people can’t have government support because it’s unfair mindset. There are so many things that are unfair lmao, including fucking everything about this dude.
It’s insane getting mad at the idea of a struggling family getting money to help them even just fucking survive, but not this dude making more money every hour than most do in a year, while not paying his workers a living wage. Even if he paid more tax and paid his workers fairly, I’m sure he could still build as many c(l)ocks as he wants and another yacht the size of a small town (with matching staff on call).
And the dude has the nerve to actually do interviews and shit?
Holy fuck (extremely) rich people these days are something *else*.
There’s an argument to make for abolishing all taxes and replacing them with a wealth tax for everyone.
You count everything you own once per year and levy a tax on it. There are a few pitfalls with such a system but it should be easier than the convoluted system everyone has now.
Hearing? There’s hearing doctors?? Am I supposed to see them?
Starting to believe these guys were MK Ultra’d into this state or something. Absolutely abhorrent state of mind.
Except it would end up in a slush fund for J6 or to a war in the Middle East and the deficit would go up yet again.
I don’t disagree with these guys paying the same rate as everyone else, the gov also has a horrific spending problem that needs fixed. I truly believe if folks saw the gov spending their money efficiently they would be much more willing to contribute.
I don’t agree with it necessarily but when it seems like your taxes just go into a black hole then I understand saying f paying more
What does 2 x 0 equal?
This really says more about the need to pay our workers better if the bottom 50% only contributes 3%.
Giving out older they are, just like David Attenborough, if Bernie Sanders dies I don’t see a successor in line and that worries me more their actions in the present.
He will not accept.
Bezos looking mighty Israeli these days.
It absolutely gonna solve problems.
Wish Bezos would put his money where his mouth is…
Is this idiot trying to run for president?
Need to tax or charge a fee for SBLOC, loans against assets over a certain amount, say 200k/year.
