He couldn't have done it this fast without the American taxpayer paying for Amazon shipping costs.

That's because he was worth only $120 billion after his divorce.

He has made about $80 billion profiting off of the mandated lockdowns. He also pays BLM to send stormtroopers to destroy neighborhood stores.

Bezos is Lex Luthor.

I am exaggerating that he sends stormtroopers himself, but he sends millions to BLM and then BLM in turn sends stormtroopers to destroy other people's businesses.

I've never been in favor of a wealth tax before, but it's clear that ultra rich people like Bezos, Bloomberg, Gates and others are a blight on society and something needs to be done about it.

I'm not sure what the answer is but the current path is not sustainable.

Wealth isn’t always liquid assets.

Let’s say you wanted to tax Bezos at 20% of his wealth. Well, the majority of his wealth is tied up in Amazon. Amazon is worth more now, so the value of his stock went up.

Now, in order to tax that, he’ll have to convert some stock to cash. Selling that much Amazon stock would devastate the share price, lowering its value, and by extension Bezos’ wealth that you just taxed him on.

That’s why wealth taxes don’t work.

If it's a gradual thing done over a period of years it would not devastate the share price.

Or at least not cheap out on anything. Any employee that can't get something they need because of costs has a right be pissed.

If I know anything about the rich elites, I'm sure they have plenty of money we know nothing about, so who knows how much they actually have?

There are men much more wealthy than Bozos. They are the real players behind the powers that conspire to be. Bozo is just one of their puppets.
