Jeff Bezos capped his salary at $82,000. Not because he's modest or because he wanted what's best for society and his company but because salaries are taxed.
Instead, he borrows against his $230 BILLION stock to fund his lifestyle UNTAXED No paycheck = no income tax.
The he jumps on TV and said he pays his fair share of taxes. They think we're stupid.

@RBReich Your analysis is BS because it accounts for stock appreciation which is not taxed by law. He paid much more than that but it doesn't serve your narrative.

@JeffBezos The top 1% should be the only people paying taxes at all
Spending should be cut to facilitate this

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
