@quackquack saidYou did not hear me complain.
I'm sure Jeff Bezos would trade tax bills with you.
Furthermore, the government gives deductions because it wants to encourage certain activities that has value to the government. Maybe instead of complaining you should do those things. We'd all be better off.
You confuse an observation with a complaint/
Warren Buffet made the same observation when he mused.
''My secretary pays a higher tax rate than I do.''
Complaint or observation?
I DO NOT THINK HE WOULD TRADE OUR FEDERAL TAX BILLS
I PAID more taxes than him...............How 'bout that?
Bezos paid no effective tax owing to his status as Amazon's founder and CEO. In the same time frame, his wealth increased by $99 billion, but he reported just $4 billion in earnings. Revenue for the same period was $22 billion.

@jimm619 saidBezos is not accused of breaking the law. He either did not have realized income or has legal deductions that the government felt had as much benefit to them as the taxes. If he purchased anything he paid sales taxes and other taxes.

@mchill saidThis post, McHill, is usual the usual tact of segueing by liberal posters, nothing personal......but you, exhibiting said trait of liberals, simply do not respond to a very good point made by Quack. You just don't. , It is not in liberals to do so. I am just the Forum Monitor, I leave it to you 2 to hash it out.
It makes no sense for the government to give away hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to fat cat corporations in the Fortune 500 in the form of subsidies, grants and other corporate welfare goodies while small and medium size business's struggle to make it on their own. At least forgiving student debt helps people who really need it -
- or have you thought about that? 😵

We lose sleep every night figuring
on how to " inculcate'' y'aII. 😆
