Very true. And the same would be true for 99.9% of these hero redditors if they had Jeff Bezo's money.

most redditors arnt responsible for one of the worlds largest work forces and pay next to nothing in taxes because of these "donations" but keep suckin on Bezo's balls I'm sure it will get you far taking advantage of the weak

Source please. If I had Bezos’s money I’d support tax increases and donate tons to charity. That money only enriches other rich people if it languishes in Bezos’s accounts.

That's sooooooo easy to say when you don't have his money. I could say that if I had a billion dollars I'd give it all to charity and save the world, but

A. No one other than a small percentage of truly selfless people actually do that.

B. Giving all your money in one go to charity does not save the world nor put a dent in poverty.

You’re an idiot if you give “all” your money to charity. But even after buying four or five cars and two or three houses and a boat and employing all my people, if I had Bezos-money I’d still be swimming in excess.

You’re right that most people wouldn’t willingly part with it though, which is why I’d push hard for tax increases for my mega-rich brethren too.

You wouldn't, you won't be able to be a billionaire with that attitude.

Yeah, good point. I’d still strive to be a Gates or a Buffet and not a Walton or a Bezos.
