Man no matter how many times I block this Reich dude his stupidity somehow keeps making it to my feed...
Not taxing someone, regardless of if you agree with it or not, is **not** the same as "billions in tax giveaways", just saying it in such an obviously incorrect way makes it really hard to take this guy seriously, its the norm for him too.

Sure, its simple, you cant call something a "giveaway" when you are simply choosing not to take something of theirs.
If i am giving something away it implies it is mine to give, not that I could take soemthing that is yours and dont.

To illustrate your point im going to go around to homeless people and aim a gun at them and go "Give me a million dollars, actually nevermind you can keep it as a giveaway" then go home... then we can all praise me for giving million dollar giveaways to the homeless.

I never said or implied anything about tax being theft... Tax is where the government taxes money another person owns. It isnt theft, its how we build community collectively.
What does the amount of tax bezos or anyone pay have to do with what we are discussing? As I stated before its perfectly fine to think they should pay more taxes if thats your opinion. But when you call not taking something someone else earned as a "giveaway" you have lost all credibility in the discussion IMO. Even if its justified and fair to take that money, not taking it is still not a "give away"
