Nah you're right, don't tax rich people because it's not worth it. Just take the money from people who need it.

News flash for retards

Rich people are rich, because they know how to avoid paying taxes

Poor people are poor, because they don't know how to do sh-t including how to avoid paying taxes

Stupid people think how taxes are charged will change their life
This is like, the poorest person's view of why rich people are rich.

No, but rich people aren't rich because they invest money, that's a fucking donkey's perspective.

Bezos pays a fucking ton of taxes, which help everyone. There are certain loopholes that marginally decrease the amount of taxation he pays, which sure, let's do away with those. But the idea that he doesn't pay taxes is moronically dumb. Of course amazon pays taxes, mostly because it's illegal not to. Again it boils down to this seething contempt for and envy of rich people writ large. Cut out all the shenanigans and he'll only be worth 49 trillion billion dollars instead of 50 trillion billion dollars. Complaining about wealth disparities on your amazing fucking phone and\or computer is the gayest god damn thing ever.

Not to mention the consistent entry level employment Amazon supplies for what 300,000 Americans?
He also supplies the entry-level fulfillment center workers with at least 1 share of stock which has never split and is currently valued at around 2 grand and rising.

Granted most of those idiots immediately sell that share for US gift certificates so they can buy weed and jordans, but thats another matter

Did you just downplay someone's net worth dropping 1/4th of the deficit in the United States?

Do you have a source on that or are you just trying to somehow blame poor people again?
