Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."

I love how we all accept this as truth, or as part of a "debate", when taxing the fuck out of them - even a "kind" regime where they're still unfathomably rich - would yield so much money for health care, infra, and so much more

there is literally no world where closing the capital gains loophole and taxing the fuck out of incomes over, say, 1 billion would not result in a manifestly better world for everyone. If you get huge waste and fraud you still come out ahead! That's a lot of money!

@neurobashing Could even use some of it to go after waste and fraud. It's not like Trump's "small government" is actually free of it.
