NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”
“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”
“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”
“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”
“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”
“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”
Exactly!
@MeghansMole Haha so many people here see what they’ve been conditioned to see! Your hatred is making you blind to reality. Absolutely ridiculous! Grown adults just coming here daily to pick on someone and try to find fault with the tiniest of things. 😂
@nancytsidley@StephanieSidley Wow amazing what you can see if you’ve got an agenda?! I just saw someone wanting a look at why he’d be given simple🤷🏽♂️ if you put things in slow motion and suggest there’s an issue with the way he’s looking at her then it’s going to look like that. funny to watch this rubbish

There has never been anyone like you…and there never will be again.
You have been given a complete and total monopoly over the business of being you.
Your main thing is to not give that up. To BE YOU. To do what only YOU can do.
