In 2007, Jeff Bezos, then a multibillionaire and now the worlds richest man, did not pay a penny in federal income taxes. He achieved the feat again in 2011. In 2018, Tesla founder Elon Musk, the second-richest person in the world, also paid no federal income taxes. You better pay your taxes though or you gonna go to jail. ... Copied to Clipboard!

gotta make up your mind boys, do you want socialism or capitalism Capitalism with income caps! lol Not fair per say but it would make the world a better place. We could do it with no laws if people were by default more generous, but nope they think they need every cent of their multi-millions or billions. I know plenty of people making like 20,000 a year and they still give 10% of their income to those in need as per the bible says to. Imagine if all these rich pieces of shit did the same 10%. They could actually afford to give 50-80% and still live better than everybody, that's the sad part. Oh well. Actually, a billionaire could give 99% of their income and still have 10,000,000.....
