He also uses the moron screed of 'Amazon didnt pay taxes' when talking about the actions of a completely independent company, and the individual at the helm of only one of them. Mixing and matching 3 distinct legal entities *and* running off on the "he paid no taxes" with the implication that the federal tax is based on wealth and not the reality which is income.

A rhetoric bloated tool no matter which way you slice it.

But a common mix of idiotic comments very common to the left these days.

To be fair, Bezos did thank all Amazon workers and customers for paying for the flight today.

To be fair, Amazon is the source of much of his wealth. That is, wealth. Not current income. Still doesnt excuse Khanna no matter whom Bezos thanked.

Khanna is an idiot to call out a company for an individual's private expenditure. And he is an idiot to call out someone's expenditure of their own wealth. No matter whom Bezos thanks, Khanna is still a shallow, rhetoric filled, inaccurate gasbag given precisely what he said.

I was referring to your comments on the disconnectedness of the companies that you referred to. Bezos was pretty clear that the funding wasn’t disconnected - Amazon paid for Blue Origin.

They are disconnected. Amazon did not pay for Blue Origin, they are not listed as a shareholder or owner. They are specific legal entities.

Amazon only 'paid' for Blue Origin at most in an indirect way.

But leave it to the party of 'you didnt build that' to claim otherwise.

I guess you will now claim that my clients last year 'paid for my iced tea that I am sipping'. That would be colloquial and inaccurate. But I guess that is your current 'Iwo Jima' position.

Funny that you dont comment on the diptard scope and content of comment that was at the beginning of the sub-thread.

I’m just passing on what the founder of Amazon and Blue Origin said. Take the issue up with Bezos himself - the only reason I even posted it was because of Bezos’ tone deaf statement.

And Christ, do you have “Iwo Jima” saved as a copy and paste?

I make two posts and you can’t contain yourself. Out comes the ad hom after really mild posts by me.
