This is an interesting argument coming from Bezos. Bezos basically argues that taxing regular workers doesn't really contribute to the tax base, so they should be exempted. Joe Rogan seems to agree with him. The argument is pretty simple: that money means a hell of a lot more to... show more

Yup you used to have to make at least a million a year to even qualify for taxes… but how about we just stop forcing taxes upon the citizens???

Secondly: At what point do American citizens no longer have to invest in the proposition that is the United States? Seems to reinforce the emerging thought that the elites know more than the citizenry and all decisions should be deferred to them.

I have to disagree. This is what leads to entitlement. I think everybody should be taxed the same flat rate. No exemptions. That way everyone has skin in the game. When it's your money, you're a lot more cautious about how it's spent than when it's some rich guy you don't know.

Should treat like corporate taxes, tax on income after all expenses (groceries, rent, etc). Why tax the average Joe right off the top?

Bezos is running cover because he knows the lunatics are after him. Warren buffet and bill gates always say same stuff it just keeps people off their ass Buy me not paying taxes I’m in

I agree and so should their 7k tax returns for all their kids! WTF is all of that? They barely pay tax and some of the largest beneficiaries of tax returns! 🤬👀🫡🇺🇸😇

It’s a false argument. Wages are inflated due to the taxes being paid from them. Same thing for commerce, the price of goods are inflated due to the taxes expected to be paid from the profit earned. If no taxes then the gross wage & gross profit would equal the current taxes “net wage” & “net profit”.

All taxes should go away. Only tax that make even close to sense is sales on optional things, anything thats not healthy food(fruit/veg/meats), cheaper to mid priced cells/cars/homes, baby supplies...every other sale could be taxed and called something like "optionals tax".

Bezos making very good sense on this issue. I have to agree with him on that. Sounds good to me.

The standard deduction should be not based on how much it actually costs to do more than survive. It should be based on thriving. Everyone has a share but the scale is limiting anyone not making more than the median right now. Raise it substantially

Makes sense . More money to spend more growth .

Seems like someone heard my call for eliminating income tax

He’s right

A fraud problem and a spending problem

the next logical step is "no taxation, no representation"

Fine. Then your right to vote is revoked. We have already reached the tipping point where more people pay nothing in actual Federal income taxes than those who do.

There is also the Laffer Curve (which communists think is fake) that shows that after a certain level of taxation, people will go out of their way to reduce their tax burden, thereby decreasing overall tax revenue even at higher tax rates.

“Struggling” low income workers are net tax recipients who have no tax burden as they steal others money through subsidized programs. Kids at my son’s day care go for free (even though their moms don’t work) we get to pay $1600/month. The only “fair” tax would be flat
