In other words, he will steal $600M from the public by this move.

Tax evasion is theft.

    If I had 200 dollars and someone would offer me 60 cents for moving to Miami, I would not move.

    So, apparently he spends his time with a strange rubber woman. At least from the thumbnail pic.

    And they hold hands in such an awkward way that it looks like an AI drew it.

    It's even worse if you look at the full picture. How the fuck is her plastic surgery that horrible when she's with one of the richest people on the fucking planet?

    At least he's dating someone roughly his own age. He could probably do like Musk and date a series of women in their 30s, but he opted for a different strategy.

    I hate everything about Jeff Bezos, especially his very existence, but this is the one thing I think it's dumb to criticise him for.

    Get rid of income taxes and do a national Land Value Tax on all business properties instead, like Henry George talked 145 years ago, problem solved.

    Okay, but Bezos makes the bulk of his money on intellectual property and service fees, not physical real estate.

    What you're proposing is still, fundamentally, a tax cut for Tech guys and a big tax hike on the agricultural / mineral / business real estate sectors. It also sets up this very fluid goalpost of "What is an acre of land worth?"

    We play this game in Texas, and there's an enormous incentive for regional economic interests to decide who the Texas Comptroller and Texas Railroad Commissioner is, because these two get to functionally dictate how much tax will be collected on land assets. By contrast, the head of the IRS taxes all dollars equally.

    Imagine despising the country that facilitated the acquisition of your embarrassing hoard of wealth to begin with this much.

    Does Jeff treat his parents that gave him a quarter million to start with this much disrespect as well? Or was their part in facilitating his success one that he actually acknowledges?

    I genuinely love your use of the word embarrassing here. We need to normalize treating insane personal/family wealth as an embarrassment instead of something to be respected. With very few exceptions you only become a billionaire through inheritance of wealth undoubtedly built on exploitation, or by exploiting others yourself. They should be embarrassed by that.

    i like that the article mentions at the end that he bought 2 mansions and is considering buying 3 more to knock them down and then spend $200M building a different house.

    If I had to come up with a comically overdone billionaire for a story, i don't think i could come up with anything like that lmao.

    Huh. So the Jeff Bezos Trump attacked regularly for being an ultra-left liberal pinko commie red not only moved to Florida, but moved to Florida so he wouldn't have to pay as much tax.

    That doesn't make much sense... unless Trump's assessment of him was wrong. But how likely is that?
