As Twitchy told you earlier, Mackenzie Bezos has pledged to donate half of her nearly $37 billion fortune to charity. That’s over $18 billion. Sounds pretty generous, right? Not to Peter Daou, it doesn’t:
Giving half your money to charity and still keeping EIGHTEEN BILLION DOLLARS is what's wrong with this system.
NO HUMAN NEEDS A BILLION DOLLARS.
A wealth cap of $100 million is more than fair.#ExtremeInequality = Injustice

#JeffBezos could solve world hunger and end homelessness and still have BILLIONS left over. How is that acceptable??https://t.co/Mysm1B7wuj

Amazing how rightwingers jump up and down when I suggest a wealth cap of $100 MILLION.
'Who are you to control how much money a person should have?" they scream.
But not a WORD about laws that control women and tell them what they can do INSIDE their bodies.
Hypocrites. https://t.co/A1jm1DDwUi

Who’s being hypocritical, Peter? Progressives love to wax poetic about how they’re the ones looking out for the little guy, yet here you are railing against a woman who wants to give billions of dollars to charity while you do nothing but pitch a fit?

"No human needs a billion dollars"? No human "needs" a twitter account, but he still has one. What a putz.
