That means we get the pharma drugs faster and have more available but also the ones available globally cost way more for those of us in the United States. --- hi ... Copied to Clipboard!

How much money would he have if he gave up 90% of it? Assuming for the sake of the meme we take his net worth as his money, he'd still have 18.7 billion dollars. It's astonishing how wealthy he is, it's beyond comprehension.

Amazon workers get above average pay, and I don't know what this hoarding you are talking about is. He started and owns a significant stake in a company that investors drove the share price up on.

Assuming for the sake of the meme we take his net worth as his money, he'd still have 18.7 billion dollars.Thus, "everyone" gains $168 billion, which works out to be about $658 per adult in the US, or about 4% of the total federal budget.
