Amazon founder Jeff Bezos faces backlash for arguing against higher taxes, claiming it won't benefit society. Critics call out his low tax rate and extravagant spending.
So he’s just confirming that he pays way too little? If one of the richest people in the world would have zero impact doubling their taxes then the taxes are outrageously low, right?
Like we all know this but it’s nice to see him admit it (even if he’s smug about it). And IDK why he thinks doubling is some wildly high threshold. Assuming he pays more than zero, I’m sure the population would be happy to keep hitting him with exponential increases until morale improves.

They’ve forgotten that taxes were the compromise
This was exactly my read as well. It’s wild how few people can see “the other side of the coin” of what they say.
