No tax is fair unless it is insignificant enough to be universally paid willingly and joyfully. Plus every attempt at "progressive" taxation has been circumvented to a reversed outcome.
A tax almost always ends up curtailing what it taxes.
Taxing property curtails private property ownership, taxing income curtails productivity at the source, taxing expenditures curtails consumption.
Which of these is more sustainable with less compromise to overall economic opportunity?
>in fairness, Bezos does buy more things
Probably not the kind of things or fairness that does him or anyone else as much good with the money compared to what the average person would do.
