I do not think you are paying his taxes.SJConspirator » 30 Dec 2021, 9:33 pm » wrote: ↑ 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.
But I also think it is worse than you are saying.
Part of thr motivation for covid lockdowns and legalized shoplifting, for example, is probably to make Amazon the sole retailer in the usa.
And with completely centralized power like amazon etc.. the merchants can increase their coercive power on the population..
