26. Yes, Sen Warren, Amazon doesn't pay a lot of taxes. But Bezos does.

He pays when he sells stock to fund his lifestyle. Plus, every time some small or large stockholder sells his stock, they pay taxes.

When Bezos’ xwife gives billions to charity, she pays taxes, although she often gets a deduction.

Amazon — what most call Bezos — will eventually pay taxes on income as startup, research, etc., deductions phase out.

I don’t despise Bezos. In fact to fund all the stuff we want/deserve, we need a bunch of Bezos.

We just need to increase their taxes.
