Just pay real fucking taxes. This charity bullshit is a distraction and a tax write-off. Things like the Trevor Project would be funded as a matter of course in perpetuity rather than in fits and starts if the fucking ruling class just PAID THEIR SHARE.
There are many things to say about billionaires, but today, I will celebrate with my queer brothers and sisters
This is what billionaires should do.
Billionaires should pay their fair share of taxes.
And then some!!!!
And be taxed for wealth over let's say 100 million.
I think at 100 mil the tax should be pretty steep. Anyone with more than that gets into this “untouchable” area. No one should be untouchable.
back in the 60-70's we used to tax everything over 100k (800k now, with inflation) at 70%
now, everything over 600k is just 37%
And the only reason she's a billionaire is because she's... well, maybe mooching isn't the right word, maybe "siphoning off his wealth" lol.
More proof you have to be a complete psycho to become a billionaire the normal way, and they shouldn't exist!
Well, tbf when she married him, he wasn’t rich. This was pre-Amazon. Yes, he got a fair bit of startup cash—but Amazon really is one of those “right thing right time” companies.
It’s what he did in the following couple decades that made him a monster.
She just got half.
She wasn't just along for the ride with Bezos, she helped found Amazon. She wasn't involved directly for the part where it became huge and evil, though
Her fortune didn’t come from her husband. She was an integral business partner in growing their fortune together. She’s just one of the few ghouls who show some semblance of humanity occasionally, so we seem to have to take her agency out of the equation. She’s guilty just like Bezos, but at least there’s some sign of remorse.
She rarely gets credit, why should she take the blame.
Why misattribute her wealth though?
