4. That's why he is rich. Amazon makes my life easier.

Bezos is a visionary of capitalism in the mold of Ford and Edison.

2. His worth is basically on paper

One share is over 3,000 dollars. God forbid he ever decides to sell all his stock. It would definitely effect the economy.

3. He's an obscenely wealthy man. Mostly on paper. nt

5. Nobody should be allowed to have that much

Not while poverty exists,when there are people who need to exist but lack money to be able to after working 2 jobs.

We as a country really need to limit personal wealth..

6. He owns stock of the company he built

These ultra rich people are easy to pick on, but Bezos built a company and owned majority share in it. He still owns millions of shares of his company’s stock, that’s where his wealth is. He’s been a visionary and he’s revolutionized shopping while also completely elevating customer service.

So what is he supposed to do? Not make decisions that help his business and stock price? Bezos has done some good and can be an ally going forward. Bill Gates has done endless good since he retired, maybe Bezos can follow suit.
