If one grain of rice was worth $100,000.....

How much rice is Jeff Bezos worth?




Shows how much immense wealth the one percent control

I have never held a grudge against successful people. They are often much smarter and work harder than unsuccessful people.

Maybe you should have worked harder in life or been smarter. It's a thought.

I don’t question his wealth

Only question why our system jumps through hoops to help him make more. Why should taxpayers subsidize Amazon HQ?

We should be standing up for workers

Because the local governments need to compete to expand their local jobs and tax base. If those local or State Governments did not make far more in tax revenue than they paid Amazon they are incredibly stupid, and they are not stupid. It's basic math.

I know you don't like it but it's called Capitalism. That's how it works. Is there an economic system you think is better?

And Amazon plays one community against another so they don’t have to pay taxes on all that rice.

Of course they pay taxes. But they are looking for the best deal. They have a legal responsibility to do so for there share holders. Wouldn't you?

The not paying taxes thing the left is always bitching about is because Amazon actually LOST money for years.

Rightists coming to the defence of Bezos.

Too funny.

And such hypocrisy.

But Trump says Bezos is bad

Business owners who tell the truth about Trump are bad.

Business owners who support Trump’s lies and dishonesty are good.

Again, such hypocrisy.

First of all, the video is stupid and second, "The 1%" does not "control" any "immense wealth" - they have created it. Now that this is out of the way, I will get into the problems with the video in more detail below.

From the very start of the video, we are greeted by a very hefty superlative - Absurd wealth. This is never reallty defined or motivated, so we are left with so many questions unanswered; What makes it "absurd"?

But, I cannot really say I am surprised because Socialists never really define just how much wealth is "too much" and by which standards it is to be regarded as such.

Furthermore, it is dumb to think that Bezos just has a billion dollars in cash money sitting in some sort of Duckburg-esque vault on a hill. It is his net worth. But, I cannot say I am surprised since this loser spends his Saturday nights counting rice to spread Comminist lies instead of doing something productive like, I don't know, learning economics maybe. Ugh.

Final words; Jeff Bezos is a hero.

Workers create the wealth

A billionaire moving money from point A to point B does not create wealth

If that is what you think business-owners are doing, you need a reality check because quite clearly you live in a Leftist La La Land.

... And your nick is rightwinger.

That is what investors do
They are not creating wealth, only moving it around.
