How much money should Jeff Bezos be forced to give away?




It's not fair that he's amassed a fortune I helped build, it's time to even it up a bit.

Its amazing to me that our society is so morally bankrupt that they praise and celebrate this kind of wealth.

Passing an economics class doesn't make you morally bankrupt.

You know, that would actually not be a bad strategy for Michael Bloomberg to do that as part of his campaigning.

They disempower you, and want you to give your power to politicians. Surely they will fix things!

It's morally bankrupt to decide that someone has "too much" and therefore it's okay to confiscate it.

Bezos earned his money fair and square and already paid taxes on it. He shouldn't be forced to give any of it way. That's true of anyone, whether they're poor or rich.

Saying that it's not okay to steal someone's lawfully acquired property is not "praising and celebrating their wealth".

Do you people that believe he should give up his money truly feel that way? If so, that's really pathetic.

No one has a right to that kind of money. And if you defend it you are indeed morally bankrupt. You are part of the problem.

The only reason why people are starving to deathin this day and age is because of people with ideologies like yourself make it so.

It must be difficult to live your entire life based around envy and lusting over what other people have instead of trying to earn something for yourself.

And while not everyone has what it takes to become filthy rich like Bezos, there is still plenty of opportunity in this country for everyone. With the exception of people who are unfortunate enough to have to have a debilitating disability, anyone is capable of earning a decent living and being financially comfortable.

But you excuse people's bad choices and will never hold people accountable for their actions. Someone decides to have kids they can't afford? Someone chooses to take out 100k in student loans to go their "dream school" for a degree that might get land them a 35k/year job? You treat them as poor downtrodden heroes that somehow got screwed over by some rich boogeyman.

If you love something let it go, for if it returns it was always yours, and if it doesn't it never was.
