Bezos - Hard to fully comprehend

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away. THIS year to save me from tears, I’ll give it to someone special.

Can’t get that damn song out of my head now.

Why do You care? I can order my family and friends all that I want and have it delivered to my door within the week.

And not have to waste time away From making money Waiting in stores.

He can make whatever the frick he Wants:

I can work and take care of those I love more

I just wanted to see how much money that really is and it’s fricking stupid.

Sounds like you’re a bit obsessed with other people’s money.

And this is the meat skull that sits in his 5’4” neck.

Sometimes it seems that some people think that people who own a chunk of a large public company actually have their wealth in cash sitting in a savings account or a shoebox in the closet.

Let me clarify, I DO NOT LIKE THIS PRICK AT ALL! I just wanted to see how much money that really is and it’s fricking stupid.

So you're mad that he made something no one else offered and is now rich?

Only reasons I care:

1) Amazon weasels its way out of paying its fair share of federal taxes while simultaneously getting massive tax breaks from local and state governments for its operations. They are the epitome of corporate welfare.

2) Amazon has become so large and powerful that they break the usual norms of market dynamics. They can do things to stifle competition that they shouldn't. For example, they wanted to buy out diapers.com but the owners refused. Amazon then sells their own diapers at a loss and bleeds diapers.com out until the owners are forced to sell at even less than originally offered.


Bezos is the lead man so he is assumed to be behind the shady practices, and he clearly benefits from them.


I don't know what Bezos himself pays in taxes so I can't speculate on that much

Hey look it's someone who doesn't know what the frick they're talking about

Beat me to it.

People who say dumb stuff like that really need to sit through a tax law course just to get an idea of what is really happening.

I had a friend who brought Amazon up once and was all indigent and I asked how much he thought his employer paid in taxes. Had no idea. I said go ask your boss what he thinks of a payroll tax.

Amazon is paying that for every employee. They pay more federal tax in a month than you will in several lifetimes.

The same people read that Donald Trump paid $400 in taxes and are all hE’s a cOn MaN and don’t understand that he also just cuts checks of millions of dollars to the IRS every year.
