Off passive income alone; Bezos can afford to pay every American over the age of 18; 1000$ a week... and he'd still be a multi-millionaire.

I mean, he should be paying more in taxes, but your math is atrocious. That would imply he makes 260 billion dollars a week...

I mean, he still makes 1.3 billion week off a 7.9m? An hour passive income...

His money could easily fund shit, along with other billionaires to basically eradicate homelessness, poverty, and more... passively.

Math can be tricky, especially at this large scale with trillions of dollars and millions of people. For some information along this topic, a framework for how to effectively tax income and fund a stronger social safety net, may I suggest my video on #SocialSecurityforAll

I still don't understand where Musk's wealth has come from. Just SpaceX?

Trump and the GOP will try to abolish the minimum wage entirely by the end of the year. If they remove the filibuster they'll get it done. ALL pro-labor regulation (40 hour work week, unions etc) is on the chopping block

When Trump said he wanted to take America back to the 1890s he meant it. Gilded mansions for them, dangerous sweatshops and camped tenement housing for the rest of us.
