The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.
Because the double of 0 it's still 0, tax those bastards
Double 0. In front of a bond-villain-style rocket.
bet
Nothing times two is nothing.
How about triple? Still no? 4x, 5x, 100x. Let’s find out when it starts helping people.
Only one way to find out - whaddya say we give it a try, Jeff?
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
Tax billionaires on the assets they control, till they're millionaires.
Hmmm, maybe make into a gameshow and call it "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2"
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.
2 * 0 = 0
Which is why we need to quintuple it. And keep doubling it from there until morale has improved globally.
Nobody wants to double thentaxes on the uber wealthy. We want way way more than double. Personally, I like 100% on "wealth"/"net worth" over 10 million dollars.
After you hit $1 billion, just a total reset to 0. They're all pretty confident they can get there again easily, so shouldn't really be a problem. Enjoy your little spotlight in Forbes.
I agree with Bezos here. We should be taxing him dramatically more than double of what he's currently paying.
Double nothing is still nothing
Bezos paying any tax at all would be an improvement
I think what he's referring to is that even if you taxed him more right now, that money would just go to funding the trump admin, bombs, and ICE...
Just kidding, I don't think he actually cares about those things.
He wants more of those things. As does the rest of the Dark Enlightenment assholes.
Yeah, but they won't fund it through tax dollars, more like direct "donations" and kickbacks to the corrupt politicians and evil organizations implementing the agenda.
I like Leeja Miller's line, taxes were the compromise.
I'd venture that setting his effective rate to the same as everybody else's would make the amount a lot more than double
I approve of this message. Rich people should not exist and the state should be run by the workers and not have any leader ruling with an iron fist. Letting one person make all the decisions always ends in chaos, tbh.
Double it AND enforce it too. Problem solved.
two options, jackass
or
Or we could tax him at 75% and he'd still be filthy rich. Fuck these rich assholes.
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.)
It would be a massive benefit to all of us even if we burned all of his money in a dumpster rather than redistributing it.
Having billionaires who can buy elections or monopolize markets is inherently destabilizing to society. His dragon horde was captured by exploitation, and it should be returned to the people who actually earned it.
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.
The only way that is true is if he pays none...gotta fix that.
Why not then, as it won’t harm him either?
0 x 2 = 0
He is just saying he pays no taxes guys. Hands out the pitchforks
You sure? Let's try it!
Doubling his taxes won't do much.
Taxing him at 50% will.
2*0=0
Which is why we need a billionaire wealth tax too, and to close tax loopholes that allow the rich to pay close to nothing.
"This is why taxing me is bad..." - Rich Cunt
Well… under the current administration, one could argue that he’s right.
2 × 0 = 0
I wonder what would help people, according to this tube steak.
