Bezos gives Van Jones 100 million

[hehfest]

Potentially the biggest cut-out in history, but Elon Musk will give him a run for his money. This guy is a clown that signed on the dotted line from whatever connection he had in the GOV. All a con!

Yes. In short, Amazon's tax breaks are derived from the States. The US tax code is built around low capital gains and deductions to spur investments and purchase of capital improvements.

I do not like executives taking advantage of this to the extent the Uber wealthy do by collecting all their compensation via capital gains thou.

I looked up Bezos salary. $81,000 per year for 15 years. Guy literally never paid ant actual income tax, only capital gains. There needs to be a limit on that...something like a lifetime cap at $40 mm (adjustable) and then everything thereafter taxed as income. That's more fair. I do not believe Companies should be taxed at all on income, but the current code allows for this, I also don't believe any individual should be taxed under $100k annually....and have no issue with a 40% - 45% income tax on anything over $10 mm/ yr on income. I'd even do a $50% tax on windfalls over $20mm.

its crzy people making 35,000 pay more taxes than rich people that is why you can never bet the rich at anything

It's his money he can do what he wants with it. Jones is another race baiter white hater though just for the record. A real scumbag.

Bezos is blow hard scum bag just like Van Jones. They are perfect for each other.

His ex-wife gave a lot of money away to colleges. I don't understand what you laugh for. The money is given to people or foundations that do good for other misfortunate people.

lmao liberal pavy is real

He gave 100 million for him to give away. He didn't give it to him personally.

[COLOR=rgba(2, 20, 31, 0.85)]As for Uncle Sam, the tax implications of Bezos’ gift depend on how it is structured. (Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.) If he hands off the money outright, Bezos could owe millions of dollars in gift taxes, says Harvey Dale, director of the National Center on Philanthropy and the Law. But if he instead simply sets aside $200 million and lets Andrés and Jones decide how to disburse it, he would instead earn an income tax deduction.[/COLOR]

You can be damn sure that he gave it to Jones' charity and that Bezos is taking the charitable deduction.
