The person your replying to is talking about percentage.

So Bezos is, in fact, paying more taxes than him. What am I missing? He wants Bezos to pay more as a percentage of income?

Yeah, that's what he's arguing for.
When Buffet for instance says he pays less in taxes than his secretary he means a a percentage of his total earnings.

The history section is particularly interesting especially the recent history. I hear this talk all the time on social media.
> Bezos currently pays less tax than I do, and he should at least pay that much, right?
I don’t know your earnings, but let’s assume it’s under $1M annually. I do not believe you pay more in gross taxes than Jeff Bezos. If you paid more, you would likely have $0.00 remaining. What is your source for how much tax he pays? It is likely in the millions.
