Jeff Bezos is so much more boring, lame and devoid of personality than a Bond Villain though it physically hurts my brain to try to relate the two in my head.

    They should double his taxes and then double them again and again and again and again. Billionaires should not exist.

    Yes doubling it won’t help it needs to be 33% flat for him and Amazon which is probably more than 5 times

    2 x 0 = 0

    So yeah. Of course it won’t. All those loopholes and tax shelters they’ve paid to have written into the tax code need to be closed. They need to be taxed out of existence (as in billionaires shouldn’t exist)

    Which is why we need to quintuple it. And keep doubling it from there until morale has improved globally.

    So what you’re saying is that we should be taking more, a LOT more? We should keep taking until it does help somebody?

    I can get down with that.

    I’d venture that setting his effective rate to the same as everybody else’s would make the amount a lot more than double

    Of course, that’s why taxes for multi millionaires and upwards should be percentages based on income, civil contribution, participation and national financial participation (ie. Where is the money made v where is it spent or sequestered.)

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
