His taxes need to be multiplied by 10, 20 maybe.

of course a billionaire would say that.

I'm inclined to agree with Bezos that doubling the tax he pays is nowhere near enough...

Yessssssssssss. Also there are other multiples besides "2."

Love you Scott but you’re wrong here. It’s basic math : $0 x 2 =$0.00

The inverse is true, on an order of magnitude of about 100,000 where we could multiply his taxes by 100,000 times and it wouldn’t hurt him.

Sure, douchebag. How about 100x then?

Let's try as a test case.

Exactly!

By the way, let’s assure him that he still should be able to have plastic surgery.

So let’s try more than double

He talked about reducing the income tax (I’m taking that way) but that is the effort to eliminate the existence of the government.

Well, I think he is telling the fact. The fact he isn’t paying much tax.

If he believes that, he needs to explain how his wealth is helping the teacher in queens

Meanwhile, The top 5% of 🇺🇸 wage earners make 95% of all the money earned in 🇺🇸 every year. This means, we the 95% of wage earners, share 5% of all the money earned in 🇺🇸 each year. 🤔, so why aren’t the top 5% of wage earners 👉 paying 95% of all US taxes each year, & we the ppl pay our 5% share? 🤔!

First, he’s completely disingenuous and full of 💩! Second, is it me or is he unable to move his upper lip while speaking?? Maybe neuromodulator injections like his new trophy wife 🤷‍♀️

Challenge accepted! Except we should more than double them

How much tax does Bezos actually pay at present? I'm guessing it's a miniscule percentage of his income given the scope for avoidance. If he was paying even 1% of his wealth annually that would help quite a lot of teachers.

I think rather than his taxes*2, we should start with taxes^2 and see where we need to go from there.

How about just paying his fair share?

That's what I was thinking. Call his bluff!

lol about as tone deaf as UBI and AI to deep in debt graduates.

Try that, and also pay his workers a salary they can live on?

I’m no math whizz, but I do know that two x fuck all = fuck all

Letting his employees unionize is an obvious start, too.

Send jeff my multipart series on tax reform!

No more income taxes that can be dodged. Elizabeth Warren had it mostly right, a wealth tax and make it 5%/year until you're down to your last 5%, and he'd still be a billionaire.

Eat the rich 🤨

Maybe increasing taxes on the rich won't work but let's try it anyway, after all we know trickle down doesn't work but we have been trying for 50+ years.

Bozos is right since 2 x 0 =0

Or we could try raising his tax rate to match the average American’s rate. Apparently that would be around a 20x increase over what he’s paying now. So in a sense, I agree with him. But if we increased it to the top tax rate in 1960 (91%), it would.
