Sorry, he's blocked. But I'm certainly tired of billionaires making $4 billion and only paying 23% while saying we can't balance the budget. No dude, running these deficits is a choice. Obama left Trump a deficit of 2.5% of GDP. Trump doubled it before COVID. You're a disaster who is destroying this country. I don't care how much value you've added. You broke it, now fix it. P.S. Amazon was created under much higher tax laws, but it was still created, the value was still added. But right when he was going to pay, suddenly he's making sure we're lowering his tax rates because America can't survive, we can't balance budgets. Guess Bezos is joining the lying grifter club.

@JeffBezos Bezos' daily income exceeds the daily income of virtually 100% of U.S. workers, around 167 million employed Americans. Shut up Jeff.

Nice try. Reich should probably label those numbers more clearly, since he’s using a broader “true tax rate” argument based on wealth growth and corporate profits, not just standard income taxes. But the core point still stands: billionaires and mega-corporations often end up paying far lower effective tax burdens relative to how rich they’re getting than ordinary workers do. The guy's rebuttal hides behind narrow definitions to pretend that problem doesn’t exist.

@FUDHelpdesk @JeffBezos Yes, absolutely BUT STOP USING AI to write your posts and replies. ffs.

Ok so I read it and... The article proves the opposite of what it thinks it proves. Nobody serious is saying you illegally evaded taxes. The point is that the tax code lets billionaire wealth grow almost untouched while wages get taxed immediately. “Unrealized gains aren’t income” is not a rebuttal. It’s the loophole. Legal isn’t the same as fair. It just means the people who benefit wrote the rules neatly enough.

Please do a quick read of this. It’s short, well written, and will remove a bit of wool from over your eyes.

The ratio of CEO pay to average worker pay is 285 to 1. It used to be 21 to 1 in the 1950s, back when MAGA thought America was great. Back then, there was a thriving middle class... The top marginal tax rate back then was over 90% and the corporate tax rate was 53%. Maybe stop making bullshit excuses for hoarding wealth and pay your employees, who make your wealth possible, a fair wage. Taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for providing your employees with food and healthcare because you're a greedy pig. Recently, someone died in one of your warehouses, and the employees just had to continue working around the dead body. You stifle competition, and you are bad for America.

@actingliketommy @JeffBezos Amuse peddles AI slop.

@JeffBezos Bezos is amplifying the biggest disinformation outlet on the internet. Amuse peddles straight lies 24/7. Jeff, you are a fucking piece of shit boss and we need to tax your ass out of billionaire-ness because you're a fucking stain, boss.

@JeffBezos Bro, this article is laden with AI-writing.

You just made Reich’s point. Unrealized capital gains *should* be taxed as income each year (and there should also be a way to deduct unrealized losses). This will require tax law changes, but Reich is making a valid argument. Treating capital gains differently from other income on a continuing basis is drastically adding to inequality.

When Nature reached out to use the graph I created (using GPT) to illustrate the new (dis)proof of the unit-distance problem, I reached out to Will Sawin to see if he had other suggestions. So here is a slight modification that bounds the complex norm of the points.

LEAKED AUDIO: In an all-hands meeting on April 30, Mark Zuckerberg tells employees that he's training AI on them ahead of mass layoffs. "The AI models learn from watching really smart people do things... The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks. So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally build tools or solve tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our model's coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousands and thousands of extremely strong engineers at their company."
