Nonsense. Parent stated Bezo's should get a 100% tax rebate. I never voted to subsidize Bezo's philanthropy to the tune of 100% of tax revenue, and I like to think I live in a democracy. Nothing I said was knee-jerk antagonism.
I gave $100 to the Girl Guides last week without any expectation of a 100% tax rebate. Who am I to decide that tax payer revenue should 100% go towards the Girl Guides? Maybe other tax payers would prefer it went towards something else?
As far as $10 billion being basically nothing... we wouldn't be talking about it if it was $100, but my opinion wouldn't change.
