You are just jealous and greedy and think they should have to give you the money they earned. Nothing but greed and envy. Is it wrong for someone to do something of greater value and make more than you do? Is it wrong for someone to work harder and longer than you and make more money than you. Get over your envy. Stop being so damn greedy. Go out and do something worth a crap to someone else rather than growing mushrooms and living off the government.
ad Homs lol.
look, I am not here to diminish Bezos or any successful capitalist. But I judge people by what they contribute. Amazon provides an excellent service and Bezos deserves to be wealthy. But does that mean I should pay his taxes? Does it mean he should get public bailout money?
There comes a point where wealth has diminishing returns. Someone can only spend so much in a lifetime, beyond that it is just about depriving others.
