Amazon.com के संस्थापक और दुनिया के सबसे अमीर व्यक्ति जेफ़ बेज़ोस ने अमेरिका के 23 राज्यों के लिए 32 संस्थानों की मदद से 98.5 मिलियन डॉलर बेघरों के लिए दान में दिया.
लेकिन इसके बावजूद जेफ़ बेज़ोस को ट्विटर पर ट्रोल किया गया. इंग्लैंड के लेबर पार्टी के नेता Jeremy Corbyn ने कहा कि यह जेफ़ की निजी संपत्ती का मात्र 0.09% है.
That’s 0.09% of your net worth.

Just pay your taxes. https://t.co/KEke1NUE8E
इसके बाद से ही कई लोग जेफ़ के इस डोनेशन की आलोचना करने लगे. उनका आरोप था कि जितना वो समाज से कमा रहे उसकी तुलना में वो बस नाममात्र का दान कर रहे हैं.
Jeff Bezos makes $60,000 every 24 seconds.

Every 24 seconds, he adds a living wage to his bank account.
Every second, he makes enough money to feed hundreds of homeless people.
EVERY SECOND.#TaxTheRich
#JeffBezos gave $98 million to homeless organizations (which I’m sure are corrupt ones). His donation

Is the equivalent of someone giving $45 if they make $50,000 a year. Plus he doesn’t pay any taxes.
Avoids billions in TAX, but gives 90odd million to charity.

1% tax he’d owe 1.5B

Jeff Bezos could buy a $150,000 house for every homeless person in America and still have almost $20 BILLION in personal wealth

If you made $50,000 per year this is the equivalent of giving away $45. pic.twitter.com/yBAeL7ExRV

#jeffbezos can only give millions to charities because he pays fuckall tax and pays his staff poorly. If he paid proper tax and paid his staff better sure he’d have to scrape by on a few million a year but I’m sure everyone would be better off.

Next time I drop a $1 in a homeless person’s cup I’m gonna need a big media PR campaign that talks about how much of a philanthropist I am. #JeffBezos #halfasscharity

98 मिलियन डॉलर एक बड़ी रकम तो है ही लेकिन ये उतनी बड़ी नहीं लगती जब आप 110 बिलियन डॉलर के मालिक हों.
