He could have just used this donation to help pay his fair share of tax. Too clever by half, Brino.
They have more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes. In the end, they are jealous of poor people that find a way to have a happy life.
Imagine having enough money, that tax becomes the enemy rather than a fact of life. Then, having enough money to spend it on fighting it, rather than just paying it…
Sounds like I need to start one of those groups
Most humans are absolutely stupid. That’s why we give the chance to psychopaths to control and manipulate world’s population, and most of the idiotic slaves just want to be like them.
Humanity has a serious intellectual and moral issue, followed by an inexistent reaction to protect their own life, for which they prefer to submit, obey and praise a bunch of psychopaths, instead of putting a stop to this madness.
Does he have no shame in life?
I’m sure he has a weird dick at this point
An overpaid CEO (or VP or whatever he is) working to fight a tax on overpaid CEOs?
I cannot even begin to accurately describe my level of surprise. That’s how shocked I am.
Could you assholes just stop satirizing yourselves for one minute
What happened to do no evil eh?
As I became wealthier I slid further and further to the side of “no individual should be permitted to hoard more than $10m”.
Your family will live forever… and your kids and their kids and on and on… on 10m well-managed dollars. No one should hoard more than that for themselves.
I have calculated that civilization ends at +1% tax.
That’s is 0.00016447% of his net worth.
To put it in perspective, if you are earning the average yearly salary in California (~79k) it’s the same as you donating $0.13 of that yearly salary.
So yeah, he might not care about it that much.
Greedy little fella, isn’t he?
Sam Francisco continues to think they can base local tax rates on global phenomena
This tax wants to have ceo pay capped at some multiple of the lowest-paid GLOBAL employee.
Do you want all the lowest rungs of corporations to be contractors? Because this is how you do it
Get rekt dick! is my official stance to the pedo-class.
they would waste every cent making us fight a culture war against ourselves before they paid a nickel in taxes.
these people are monsters
The more they fight it, the higher the proposed rate should be.
5% is absurdly conservative. The rate should start at 50% and go up as those wealth hoarding fucks fight it.
Don’t be evil, eh? How a good man becomes an oligarch scum.
Isn’t that like me donating a penny ?
They would rather burn the money than pay their share to help society.
That’s lunch money
I’ll take the Ezra Klein podcast: “salaries are for suckers” for $1000.
Just saw someone try to argue Bezos only actually makes 70k. Motherfucker, that is still almost DOUBLE what I make.
Imagine that you were born at the same time as Jesus and since then, every hour of every day, you were given $10,000. When you’re asleep, when you’re working, every hour, $10,000. Sergey Brin would still have more money than you. Over $50 billion more.
Billionaire CEOs collectively spend billions fighting taxes when they could just spend less just paying the taxes. 😅
That you have the ability to drop $500,000 to support a counter campaign kind of proves that you’ve been overpaid and can easily contribute more without feeling the pain.
He could have spent that $500k paying the Overpaid CEO Tax.
“Don’t be evil.”
