I want society to get richer. I want poor people (in all nations including China, India, and Vietnam) to earn more money. This is not the same thing as wanting equality.
In that sense, no I do not support economic equality. Jeff Bezos owning 10% of Amazon worth $X billion does not effect my life in any way. If he owned 50% or 0.001%, instead my life would still be the same.
I'm not sure why I need to be upset about that.
- kingboss 4y agoIt does affect you though. Cause Bezos then lobbies that unions are evil and does everything under the sun to keep wages low. Including yours.
- missedthecue 4y agoAmazon led the way to $15 Bezos could do that with $100 million. Lobbying is not expensive.
- eggsmediumrare 4y agoThe actual number is not upsetting, it's that 1) he achieved that number by exploiting workers (pee in a bottle, stay in the warehouse during a tornado, et cetera) and 2) not paying taxes.
