People don't care that governments spend trillions of stolen tax dollars on weapons/army to run wars, kill people but they are so upset that #Bezos spends money which he earned, you gave it voluntary.
I'm a one of you.

Don't forget about monarchies around the world. Call them to give back all the money and properties they stole from people.

@Br0m3x As someone who boycotts , I reserve the right to bitch about Amazon's continued oppressive & destructive existence. We all have fewer choices in the market as a consequence of Amazon's anti-competitive practices, which continues to harm all consumers (myself included) despite my boycott.

@Br0m3x But I should also say I'm not at all bothered that Bezos is financing space programs. Considering the unjustly miniscule funding that goes to NASA, SpaceX is filling a gap & it's much needed. It's only objectionable how the scumbag acquired the money he invests on .

@Br0m3x well the income tax is a can of worms. To some extent, you do have choice. If you don't like the tax regime where you are, you can relocate into a different tax regime. Of course, that option isn't available to those too poor to move. And if you're a US citizen, you still must file with the fed even if you leave (which is quite nasty compared to other developed countries).

@resist1984
There are countries w/o personal income tax as well.
Changing residency b/o taxation is a topic for loooong conversation.
Now I' m looking for a place to live because I feel that there is no hope for EU. :D I see authoritarianism is looming.

@Br0m3x ah, I didn't realize you were European. Well certainly you have it easier than Americans b/c you probably don't even have to report your earnings to Europe if you move and cut ties. OTOH, your tax is probably at a level that really pressures you to leave.
