No, they haven’t. When you order snacks from Amazon, Bezos isn’t “taking” your money. You’re giving it to him.

- thomastjeffery 6y agoWhat's the difference? Poor and middle class Americans are afraid of higher taxes because they don't have enough money. Where did all the money go? To 400 billionaires. 50 of them now control as much wealth as the poorest 165 million Americans. Tens of millions of Americans are in poverty, and what do we do about it? Pray to Bill Gates? Jeff Bezos? What do I have to convince them to give their wealth to me? Tens of millions of Americans are in poverty. 10% of Americans hold 70% of wealth, and they are all getting richer. Their income comes either from the rest of us or from inflation.
