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 #Amazon, 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 #SpaceX.

We're almost on the same boat.

@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).

@Br0m3x OTOH, US income tax is relatively low compared to the rest of the developed world. Hong Kong is the only developed (country?) with lower tax than the US AFAIK.

@Br0m3x Note there is that ~$90k exemption, where you can live outside the US & pay zero US tax if your annual income doesn't exceed ~$90k, even if the tax in your country of residence is zero. The only escape if you exceed thresholds is renounciation.

@resist1984
That's why in every EU country you MUST confirm that you don't have US citizenship.

@Br0m3x in what circumstance? Do you mean when opening an EU bank acct?
