    Jeff Bezos could give every Amazon employee $105,000 and still be as rich as he was before the pandemic. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, I'm not sure what will.

        This is proof Capitalisme is a failed system. Please remember the new Deal and the Marshall plans and look at the effects those had on the world economy.

        I'm sure he'd be fine with that since Status Quo Joe reassured corporate heads that, "nothing would change." #EatTheRich #BurnTrumpsGOPToTheGround

        Honest question, Robert: How would that work, exactly? From what I understand, it's not like Bezos has all his money in a vault where he can just toss $105,000 bags at every employee. Isn't much of his wealth "conceptual," i.e., existing in stocks and bonds and what not?

        Hypothetically, he could give them 105,000 worth of stock in Amazon for them to do with as they please? The mechanics aren't the problem.

        Pictures? I'm not being entirely facetious. Visualising the inequality is easier than looking at numbers, for many.
