You used deficit the first time, debt the second.

The deficit is currently around 2 trillion dollars, so Bezos' wealth is around 7.5% of the deficit (if it were fully liquid, which it's not).

Regardless, stealing all of Bezos' money to "help society" would accomplish very little.

And letting Bezos continue stealing money from his employees is more beneficial to society?

He’s both stealing from his employees and paying them at the exact same time?
