How can anyone think this would not be a good idea?
Under Bernie's Make Billionaire's Pay Act, Jeff Bezos would owe $52 billion more in taxes and would still be $35 billion richer than he was before the pandemic. And that bill would raise enough revenue to cover all out-of-pocket healthcare costs of the American people this year.

Perhaps, the 'it could be me' dream, lottery mentality which immediately engages me, my, mine defensive mechanisms spiralling to aggressive posturing to feverishly possess & fervently protect the 'freedom' to horde?

Why are you so hell bent on taking other people’s money? Bezos owns a business that people buy from. They have other options, but they chose to spend their money with him. The money people make is not your personal piggy bank.

I don't think it's that simple. The stock price has increased. Not the money on hand. If he cash out the stock, he will have to pay taxes. Instead, we should assign few poor family to him so that he can guide them out of poverty

No tax on first $75k for all, after that 25% on all income. That's it. Simple. Everyone files as an individual.
