I'm on the fence about shit like this. I lean more towards the capitalistic view but would it really hurt to raise taxes on someone making that much money?
Jeff Bezos could become world's first trillionaire, and many people aren't happy about it

It's really manipulation in the market really. People losing jobs but the Amazon and Tesla stocks has skyrocketed. Nas100 has hit all time highs and continues to climb.
How can a company increase wealth when people don't have money too spend and they need a stimulus check

I think a lot of us Americans are becoming more aware of the greed and false messages of capitalism. It’s a reason their aren’t any moral billionaires. I mean a billionaire could probably never go broke which is a good thing. Maybe people just tired of seeing all this poverty on one street and all this good in the other street.
But also the reason folks may not like the rich is the benefits that come with it. Epstein ran a whole child sex ring for years with no real punishment until he was going to snitch on somebody richer. People don’t hate your grind they hate the privilege

Another problem that isn't being noted is that our political system allows people with more money to exhibit more influence over the people making decisions. That's another reason you can't just assume people that are super rich are there because they worked harder. They had to get to the point where they had enough money to be influential, so you can give them that. But once they get to that level then they can basically skew things in their favor to help them win even when they aren't doing anything special. We've seen a lot of that under the Trump administration.

Dozens of investors and entrepreneurs told The Wall Street Journal that Amazon made products that directly competed with them after investing.
