Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

It is amazing to me how petty this man can be. Comey is actually credited with handing him the 2016 election! But instead of focusing on that and moving on, he keeps his panties in a wad and goes for the throat. He does it all with no pride or subtlety, just pure unadulterated venom for revenge.
