Its like you dont even read. I explained whyits doing good and why money shouldnt be in the government's hands. unlike your non existent explanation of how hes leveling the domestic economy. have some consideration for your interlocutor. You expect the other person to put in the work to have a conversation you dont even seem to understand. just shooting out random vague claims and bringing up unrelated points without ever addressing what other people say.
And besides that you're not a nice person to talk to. you called for me to be removed for a thread for having a conversation with someone you easily could have ignored and called me a troll and showed animus toward me for no real reason. Idk why you would want to just act like that toward people and have nasty conversations with them. instead of just talking and challenging each other and maybe finding some common ground. it seems like you like having enemies and fighting. im not into it bro.
plus you feel the need to insult me when im not insulting you.

He just donated 100 million dollars to United States food banks. A hundred million.
Look I really couldn't care less whether anyone likes or dislikes Jeff Bezos. I don't particularly care about Bezos myself one way or the other. I do think it's silly though for people to be mad at the guy or to hate him because of his net worth -- kind of a complete waste of emotional energy in my opinion to hate some dude who doesn't even know we exist just because of his bank account. But whatever to each their own and if people wanna pound their fists and be pissed at the guy because he's super rich then have at it.
Again though he did just donate 100 million dollars of his money to food banks, and I think that kind of counts as "giving back". Just saying.

100,000,000/ 129,000,000,000 = 0.077519379%
I dont think its wrong for someone who has the gdp of a country to pay for the country that gave them the opportunity, especially when hes profiting from its down fall.

Of course that wouldn't be wrong. What would be wrong is for people to expect it or worse think they deserve it for some reason.

Most people aren't even mad about someone being wealthy, they're just mad it's not them. Then, cue broken economic and political rational, and voila! Crabs in a bucket.
"Eat the rich" is the lowest hanging fruit position/response one can possibly occupy (Wallstreet) IMHO.

All he did was make an app and yall act like these people are gods. He's a fucking bitch. His whole model was breaking down other businesses. I coulda done that if I was a selfish asshole. He undercut everyone and made no money until they all went away. Remember book stores? They were a hang. You could meet people there and almost have a date drinking coffee and looking at books. Now every mall in america is empty and he used our postal service to do it.

If everyone only did their part as much as the other guy had capability then the only scientific advances that would have been made were ones by those with average, or less, intelligence. Why does Bezos get to benefit so much more? There's a point where being wealthy isn't work. I suppose he should only use a proportionate amount of the road system them. I suppose he should only have access to a proportionate amount of the economy, seeing as he benefits off the work of the billions of people keeping to economy running. 20 people have as much money as 3.5 billion people. Yeah, we should expect it. That money isn't theirs. In a way it belongs to everyone, because it represents the potential value of the influence that person can have on the fate of humanity. That is power. No one wants a shit politician but why is the ultra-rich seen differently? Why not hold them accountable when their choices effect not just everyone now, but everyone in the future?

I agree, that's why I would remove most of the decision away from them in the form of taxation. It won't be their decision to be generous or not, higher tax rates will take care of that moral dilemma.

when theres taxation rich people seem to peace out to other countries, the idea is to keep them in the country

If they like their chances better in China, India or Russia, then more power to them.
This idea that investors will flee the US because of higher tax rates is nothing more than fear mongering from the billionaire class. The US provides one of the best business environments in the world, they're not going to piss that away just because of higher tax rates.
