Bezos started with hundreds of thousands of dollars and a secure living arrangement, from what I understand.
And if you are making $100k, you aren't the target of anyone's tax plans.
- leetcrew 6y agonah, if you make $100k (especially if it's straight W-2 income) you have basically just entered the range where you have enough disposable cash to be worth taking but not enough to do anything about it. no one will say so explicitly, but this group is the prime target for taxation.
- Pfhreak 6y agoIn general, wealth taxes are not aimed at 100k earners. Neither are capital gains taxes. Nor are "tax the rich" movements. While yes, at 100K you can probably afford to pay some taxes, it's not where we should be looking to solve any real meaty problems.
