I boosted your toot, bc the numbers are impressive. Though, I have to remind, that that perception is biased, bc it compares incommensurables.
Wealth isn't the same as income. You got to pay taxes on your personal income, but that does not include wealth, that is hoarded outside the personal account. That's the first way, rich people can evade tax.
Bezos or any other of that guy can easiliy determine, how much they 'earn'. They actually pay taxes on their personal consumption. And there are secondary ways of tax evasion.
Short: taxes are necessary, we need to reduce legal tax deductions, we might rise taxes on corporations, but all that won't solve the problem. Expropriation is the only way to stop super rich.
