People who earn money pay taxes

While at Amazon Jeff Bezos considers his worth to be 80k a year hence he was paid that much, and paid taxes in that salary.

If someone becomes a billionaire by being paid 50m a year for 40 years and paying taxes on that income then congrats.

Bezos has paid $billions in capital gains taxes.
