Let's test that theory then. Double the mans taxes!

No cos double of 1% is till feck all. Try 50x.

Actually it will - if the taxes are used appropriately.

Why do we tolerate this shit?

The point is to hurt you, Jeff.

Hmmmmm. Bezos pays nothing in taxes, so doubling that is, let’s see… STILL NOTHING.

The cynicism is galactic. So is the obtuseness.

I'm just like, prove it. Pay the taxes, motherfucker.

Senator Elizabeth Warren would destroy this ass one on one.

Jeff should push for the Federal $15 minimum wage... if he really want to help... also lower child care and regulate the cost of housing.

I promise Bozos that he'll still be a billionaire even if his employees don't work next to a cadaver. Besides, teachers in Queens are asking for paid for school supplies, not Bentley's. That AH is so out of touch.

Let’s do it and see what happens!

When is Jeff going to sue the IRS? Jan. 29, 2024 Charles Littlejohn had pleaded guilty to leaking thousands of tax records, including for Trump and billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

zero times 1000 is still zero.

waiting for the jowl enlargening surgery to announce the poors don't understand their own problems

I promise you it won’t hurt.

"I'm rich so everything I think and say is really important and you can tell because I use declarative sentences to make my opinions sound like facts. *I learned this from Fox News "contributors."

He’s making a joke because these assholes pay almost nothing in federal taxes. Double of nothing is nothing. What a POS. Let’s take 90% of everthing above 20 million, and see how they like it! Normalize a top tax bracket of 90%. Party like it’s 1950!

Gee idk....rubs chin....I'd better ask Liz Warren 'bout that.

I fucking hate him and his silicone girlfriend

Oh sweetie we are gonna be doing more that doubling your taxes 100% weath tax mmmmgghhffff

And how many of them are in the #EpsteinUnredactedFiles 🤔

Why is Buffet in the picture??

I promise you we want to do more than double the taxes you pay!

🎯🎯🎯

he's so full of it

Storm the Bastille

Let's test it and find out

Then, as now, the ultra-rich objected to that.

Not only the social safety net. Also schools and streets.

Sure, since two times zero is zero.

He could ask:1) is it fair for poor people to have crushing reduced disposable income because they are in a higher tax bracket than a billionaire. 2) it doesnt have to work that billionaires pay more, perhaps poor people pay pay less. 3) it matters WHAT the govt does with the money

@aoc.bsky.social can use this statement in a campaign advert. @cnbc.com @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

Herr we go.

The Middle Class pays a wealth tax on houses, which are the main repository of their accumulated wealth. The super rich should pay a 1% or 2% tax on their assets, like we do. They could sell that 1%-2% of stocks and other assets to mark to market each year, to establish actual value.

10 seconds on Google: "Jeff Bezos has a "true tax rate" of roughly 1% when calculated against his explosive wealth growth. Because the vast majority of his fortune is tied up in stock ... his effective income tax rate on his total net worth expansion is microscopic..."

Then triple or quadruple the fucking taxes he pays!

LOL he totally underestimates us.

They doth protest WAY too much

He’s actually right. Zero times two is still zero.

He's probably telling the truth. His personal taxes are probably about the same as the $750.00 Taco paid.

What a jerk.

Disgusting. A very elitist answer.

if we seize every penny he has, I bet it will help a lot of teachers we should give it a try

Yet, they still survived.

Apparently Amazon pays Bezos $81k pa. I suspect he's talking about tax he pays on that. However, he "earns" about $20B on Capital gains etc. Per annum. Tax on which at say 20% is $4B. Now that could make a difference. Wonder what tax he does pay...

I am willing to take that risk...

#Bezos is either stupid or has no SOUL. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔……i’m gonna go with the latter.

Well, double nothing and you still contribute nothing. So, he's right, he isn't helping anyone.

2x0 is still 0. Asshat

Sorry that's another week of NO Amazon.

And that doesn't even include lobbying expenses...

Or; and just hear me out, you could donate money to causes that help others.

Capital in the 21st Century, Piketty 2013: bsky.app/profile/bft....

These answers are similar to Trump's talk of "a small loan of a million dollars". These people are detached from reality because they can afford to be.

Instead of saying double his taxes, state a reasonable billionaire tax rate, like 45% on his earnings from salary and bonuses, and a 30% capital gains tax on his share investments. That might make Bezos wince.

Corporate taxes as well as individual wealth taxes.

Also, 2x zero is still 0.

Jeff Bezos is correct that taxing billionaires is not going to fix the problem because the problem is an economic system that lets the idle rich steal our labor. We already tried taxing the rich in the 30s and they spent the next 80 years clawing back everything. We need socialism now

Had to block the idiot that replied to you.

Nope. You just desperately want it to be all about 'Trump bad man' so you can once more go back to believing the US are really the good guys after it's over.

But he can still rent Venice

So what can be done about this? How do we start a movement to revise our tax code?

(what happened to his mouth? has he had some sort of reconstructive work done?🤔)

Bezos' tax rate is lower than yours, or mine.

Don't take THAT bait - doubling won't do. He (and Amazon too) are paying at a pitifully low tax rate. Let's make his, his fellow billionaires', and all corporations' tax rates equitable and commensurate with the drain they are on society, natural resources, and the wellbeing of their workforces.

Then let’s quadruple them, Jeff

Anyone can win a lottery… wealth does not equal intelligence.

Hey look, the Washington Post editorial section is doing an interview.

Well, heck let’s give it a try.

Who said “doubled?”

Say when.

Maybe he's entirely correct. If he's reducing his bill to the extent that Tr*mp when he paid, what was it, $750? Then he's absolutely correct, it won't make a blind bit of difference

Stupid man makes ass ton of money and doesn't know how anything works

What a 💩 bag. Glad I cancelled my Amazon account a looong time ago!

He needs another phallic rocket and mega yacht much more than whatever those teachers need that money for.

Yeah, the top however many hundred people own over half the wealth in the country and capture over half the income, and so our income tax receipts should reflect that. They should be responsible for about that percentage of the national tax hall tax them at whatever rate achieve it.

He's kinda right. If he pays close to zero through his tax avoidance schemes, then doubling isn't going to help anyone. We need to tax them properly so they can't worm out of it.

Then lets make you pay 100x the taxes you pay.

They love their logical fallacies

Tax billionaires until they are multi-millionaires. Fuck him and his ilk.

bezos LÍES!

Rent is so high in Manhattan and everywhere else in the world because the super rich put all their money into assets such as land and property, increasing those asset prices and lowering interest rates which leads to a feedback loop driving the process exponentially. They distort the economy.

OK, well … part of the problem is that you aren’t currently paying your fair share. So, first … let’s get you to pay your fair share. THEN double THAT amount. I guarantee it will help that teacher in Queens.

Well Jeff, that teacher in Queens pays 14x % more of their income in taxes than you do! So yeah, double is not enough. Let’s start by 14x-ing it.

Bezos you are a liar and a fraud. You know it and we know it.

Just shows how out of touch with reality he is.

0 x 2 = 0. Will you look at that, the math supports that statement. Tax Billionaires!

These people are the cancer of society. #Abolishbillionaires

I say lets try it and see how it goes!!!

What a complete fucknut.

It's either aggressive taxation or violent revolution.

Or nationalize it.

I am.

So he just said that he's useless.

Plain and simple Amazon has become(is) a monopoly. It has become an addictive convenience for so many.

Double what? Zero? 0x0=0 We know Bozos, you are not “gonna” help. Never will.

His pneumatic pump? Ugh!

Prove your point Jeff, pay up. #UnionizeAmazon

Jeff Bezos pays less than 2% effective rate. I say raise it by 500%

Wow. I thought he would be smarter.

Well played, Jeff. If you pay 0 % taxes and you double that you are still paying 0%.

Double? How about 1000 times higher. That might help,
