and contribute $100 million to Feeding America, the organization that supplies more than 200 food banks, like Bezos just did.

Seems like the least he could since their funding his pointless jaunts into the upper atmosphere.

In 2007, and again in 2011, billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos reportedly paid nothing in federal income taxes.

For the years he did pay federal income taxes between 2006 and 2018, Bezos paid a total of about $1.4 billion on a reported income of $6.5 billion, or a rate of about 21.5%.


OK, Now do Musk & the other US billionares from the list K?
"Tesla CEO Elon Musk also skipped paying federal income taxes in 2018, according to the report. Billionaires are able to circumvent federal income taxes through legal financial manipulation."
