Jesus, you are fricking stupid

Bezos Net Worth (not liquid either, but for the math we can act like it is) - $132,300,000,000

divided by

USA Population - 325,700,000

equals

$406.20 /ea

It takes a lot of money to fund attacks on Trump and prop up the DNC fail machine these days.

You mean he would have to liquidate all $132.3 billion of all his assets that comprise his net worth, many of which are invested in various stocks that people are invested in. Thus would cause them to decrease in value and in reality the reaction would probably cause a meltdown.

Then he would be able to give $407 to each of the 325 million Americans, many of whom would have lost a ton of money as a result of the liquidation.

In other words, your logic is terrible but your math is worse.

isn't DJT a billionaire? Why doesn't he give away all of his money?

Its a silly question if you ask me. It is their money they should be able to do with it what they want.

BTW, the biggest rich a-hole is larry ellison. He isn't as rich as bezos but the fricker owns a Hawaiian island.

Ya know. This thread is silly, but this response from the left on stuff like this makes no sense.

We aren't the ones running around claiming to be superior humans who are just soooooooooo much more caring than you.

If you're running around talking about how important lefty policies are though...........money...........meet mouth.

its the spirit that is in him.....a born again Christian, who had the spirit of Christ in him, would do exactly this, if blessed by God to be a multi-billionaire.....But, very few born again Christians are even close to being millionaires, much less in the bezos class of finance....

19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

I am sure it was but I felt he needed to be reminded a lot on how silly that was Shorty.

I don’t like Bezos either.

But what he does with his earnings is his business.

But to offset the ridiculousness of a supposed lawyer not only being unable to do a simple calculation, being off by a multiple of 2400+, we need a lot of people to show some basic calculation skills.

Or at least enough people able to write "132.3 million divided by 325 million" into a Google search since Google takes away any complications that all those zeros could cause.

The right talks insistently about how horrible the left is, the moniker prog filth ring a bell?

I am not surprised you fail to recognize that, nor the fact that I said - its his money he should do with what he wants.

White nationalist filth is what you are.

what the frick are you talking about? What does that have to do with if you're going to run around saying how much more caring of other people you are then you probably should put your money where your mouth is

I am 100% in favor of people doing with their money what they wish. So I don't give a rat's frick if he doesn't spend his money on something unless he's demanding the government reach into my pocket to support that thing.

On the other hand. The premise that you don't care his bullshite otherwise you would be as libertarian as me

Do you math?

$1,000,000 for 300,000,000 people implies he has in gross excess of 300 trillion dollars ($300,000,000,000,000)

meant $100,000 each. MY bad 



Seriously you are terrible at math this still implies he has in excess of 30 trillion...there is literally less than 11 trillion US dollars out there
