    Yup and that’s probably the biggest injustice the world has ever seen. But that doesn’t erase the fact that Bezos, does not have an income or even a net worth of $1.5T, which is what it would take at 4.7% to make $70B.

    This meme could just as easily have said, for instance, that “just Bezos alone could personally fund this program for three years and he’d still be a billionaire. Imagine if we forced that on every billionaire.” It would still make a powerful point without spreading a lie to do it. Because if you think a whole bunch of people who saw this and didn’t fact check it AREN’T going to repeat it to other people, your kidding yourself.
