Jeff Bezos says doubling billionaire taxes 'wouldn't help' a Queens teacher
On CNBC, Jeff Bezos said doubling taxes on billionaires "wouldn't help" a teacher in Queens. Bezos made the remark while pushing back against proposals for higher wealth taxes, even as his personal fortune stands near $200 billion in 2024. Supporters of wealth taxes say modest levies on extreme wealth would generate many billions for public services such as schools and transit. The exchange matters because it puts a high-profile billionaire on record as lawmakers consider tax changes that could fund education, transit, and healthcare.
