Please tell me how someone, a dishwasher or cab driver, or hotel maid is a threat to him by saying, "HELLO".
What does Jeff really fucking have to bitch about, I mean even if we literally taxed him 50% of his pay? I will laugh in your face if you try to argue Jeff can't live off of 90 billion instead of 180 billion. I'll laugh in your face if you think he cant live off of even 50 million. It isn't a matter of robbing anyone. It is a matter of the TOP to stop being dicks.
It's the bigger house syndrome. People living in an apartment collect stuff until they no longer have any room. So they move into a house, and suddenly they have plenty of room. But over time, they fill that up, too, So they look for a bigger house.... rinse, lather, repeat.
Wealth is like that. The more wealth you have, the bigger the things you want to do with it. Jeff Besos is bitching about his wealth. You're bitching about your wealth. You think Jeff Besos shouldn't bitch because you with your apartment-sized resources and needs can't empathize with his mansion seized needs and resources. You both have the same problem and the same complaint, it's that you're straining at the limits for what you want and need, you just don't accept Besos' needs as legitimate because you lack the insight to see that you and he are essentially the same, when you believe you're really different.

Well, Bezos does have the financial advantage of living rent free in 37’s head.

Jeff isn't renting space anywhere. He owns everything.
Why does it bother you that the middle and working class think they deserve more say in government?

Why do you avoid questions by bringing up irrelevancies? This isn’t about workers having more say in government, it’s about why you think how other people spend their money is any of your business.

You brought up his class. And yes, admittedly I did too.
But please spare me, if you want me to cry over someone increasing his taxes, that is patently laughable. But trust me, the only thing about that tax bracket any sane person in the middle and working class should worry about, is that they have way too much influence on government. Bezos isn't renting space in my head, but he is bullying government.
I really love how anytime I question anything, you think I am taking it personal, when tons of others see what I see, and even the journalistic critics whom I point out see the same thing. Now, please tell me when I suddenly became the CEO of PBS.

More avoidance. This isn’t about any of that. Since you’ve clearly decided not to answer my question, I won’t ask it any more.
