In more "Sure sucks taxing the rich means socialism, huh?" news, Jeff Bezos is making news again for buying a _*$500 million super yacht_*, a yacht that comes with it's own "support yacht" because the super yacht couldn't fit a helipad on it.
'Oh hey that must've put a dent in his wallet' you might think. No, no it didn't. Bezos is worth over $200 billion, - that's billion with a B, - and almost $300 billion. So I did some math and that means 500M to him is about roughly 0.02% of his wealth. Not 2%, 1/5 of 1% of his wealth.
Some more math tells me that for a middle class family, spending 1/5 of 1% of their wealth on something is about $100, or basically an average microwave oven. Spending 1/5 of 1% when you work minimum wage ^pre-tax, mind you^ is the equivalent of...$24. More or less half a tank of gas at today's prices. The richest man in the world - and a man who's company no joke pays **0 dollars in taxes** - spends the poorest man's equivalent of half a tank of gas when he buys a yacht so big it comes with its own "support yacht".
This is insanity. But when you combine that news with the piece of news from the same week about_*another_* Amazon worker being found dead in their warehouse it goes from just "insanity" to "Capitalism".
