Joe Raedle / Getty ImagesOften, we hear from people who have journeyed to space that they experience feeling overcome by a greater sense of sensitivity and deeper understanding of humanity while contemplating the beauty of the Earth from afar. It appears space didn’t exactly have that effect on Jeff Bezos.
At a news conference on Tuesday after his trip some 60 miles into the sky aboard a rocket built by his private space company, Bezos displayed quite the tin ear when discussing how he was able to pay for the fulfillment of"I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all of this," the richest man on the planet said of his 11-minute joy ride.
"Seriously, for every Amazon customer out there and every Amazon employee, thank you from the bottom of my heart very much. It's very appreciated," he continued. "I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all this," Jeff Bezos says on the Blue Origin flight.
ZeeshanAleem Bezos may find that his bed of roses could still be harboring thorns.
ZeeshanAleem The top 1% pay 40% of federal income taxes. Add in state taxes, city taxes, capital gains taxes, personal property taxes, sales taxes, estate taxes, etc., this 1% pays more than 50% of taxes. Top 25% of earners pay 95% of taxes. The other 75% of Americans pay 5% of the total.
ZeeshanAleem Who cares?
ZeeshanAleem Ahhhh...still repeating the bullshit of tax dodging?
ZeeshanAleem He needs to pay his fair share of taxes!
ZeeshanAleem Good riddance.
ZeeshanAleem JeffBezos Zero Gravity Zero-Taxes Zero Humanity.
ZeeshanAleem disgusting~
ZeeshanAleem When is a raving narcissist ever humbled?
ZeeshanAleem Space is becoming the new playground of the idle rich billionaires. Through worker exploitation & tax evasion, billionaires have carved out a niche & business oppty in outer space. Wealtiest Americans have already made their deposits, to go on space junkets w/ Bezos & Branson!
ZeeshanAleem You ain’t fool in’ nobody with that cowboy hat Bezos. We know you are from the Pacific North West lol
ZeeshanAleem Yeah…good paying jobs and great benefits are horrible. Too bad you actually have to work for the paycheck, huh? Msnbc is unbelievable.
ZeeshanAleem He is audacious enough to boast of his trip to space. I don't understand why the media should make a big deal about it.
ZeeshanAleem Some people love life so much that they would want to be the last one's alive. To each is own
ZeeshanAleem Bezos is not the only tax dodger (ALL OF THEM USE EVERY LOOP HOLE THEY CAN TO AVOID PAYING) sports team owners, movie industry, gambling casinos (to name a few) trump once said he was too *smart* to pay taxes & every deplorable in the nation applauded
ZeeshanAleem Don't be surprised if in 5-10 years these billionaires have built a real-life Elysium. They think they're better than us average working class folks, so don't fall for the smoke & mirrors of them throwing around cash likes Bezos did with Jones & Chef Andres. It's a distraction.
ZeeshanAleem Some people call him the Space Cowboy...
ZeeshanAleem I share the general dislike of Bezos. Yet I was pleased to see that he cofunded a major food future project. This was part of a recent CNN special on solutions to our growing food needs worldwide, which are also changing along with the climate. Good info.
ZeeshanAleem Only a species with low intelligence levels seeks out new horizons while, in its wake, destroys its own home and the species living thereon. Morons. The human species makes me puke.
ZeeshanAleem It's not a leap forward or a 'great achievement', it's just a garish and disgusting display of excessive wealth. And he did not achieve an orbit, something NASA did almost 60 years ago in a craft with the computing power of an iPhone 6. BezosInSpace
ZeeshanAleem Bezos is a Democrat. The Confederate Army were Democrats. KKK Democrats. Jim Crow Democrat.
ZeeshanAleem our Government allows this monster don’t pay fare share taxes on top bailout him with money all Americans should pay in the future for generations while he is traveling to the space giving us his middle finger I canceled Amazon from my life long time ago
