    How can this alone not radicalize anyone with a brain that makes less than 100k a year? I get stumped for words sometimes because it feels like nothing needs to be said. Just look!

        Eh, many people don't care whether he deserves it or not. They understand that some asshole having hundred of billions doesn't stop them from enjoying the middle class lifestyle (they might or might not deserve) and think any attempt to radically change the system has a possibility of harming them.

      The difference between $4 billion and $100k is insane. For every $1 earned by a person with a $100k salary, Bezos got $40k.
