well she should know that it's ineffective

the 1% don't get paid such high salaries

The rich get taxed too much, they earned it fair and square.

jeff bezos, 137 billion, makes 80k a year

Can you provide a source for that?

<:pepeOrly:531514367917686844> Only 80k, everything else is a business expense <:pepeOrly:531514367917686844>

shh don't tell the sec that

Uh huh. Yeah, I think that we both know Jeff Bezos is realistically making MUCH more than that man.

oh yeah he makes thousands a minute

but none of that is getting taxed

Sadly

So much for making money fair and square and contributing to society.

I don't think people who hard-earn their money need to contribute to anything.

@TehZig

Those business dinners and flights 😛 1.6mil

A regular American? You mean a Hollywood billionaire?

honestly I would love to be a CEO

just putting everything on the company card

Lol

They can’t fire u

Is that what you call `Macaulay Culkin` @chad ? <:think_right:415551072120078347>

well they can sadly 😭

Only if it’s a public company

If they contribute nothing, how will society function? Taxes are needed to make society function.

If I ever was a ceo I’d never go public

well his money comes from his ownership of amazon right about 16%

but the only time the stock is taxed is if it is sold and been held for a year

but since bezos only makes 80k a year, he's not in the highest bracket, so his stocks are taxed at 5% when they vest

`They can’t fire u` That's what his wife said <:lul:509551045245009920>

How does he make money?

by selling stock

Every time he wants to buy something he has to sell stock?

nah

he sells off at a very specific time announced months before hand

Oh

else he could get cracked down on insider trading or god knows what

Btw Luz

Isn’t it wierd that the most homophobic person I know ended up being gay

That WE know

dunno
