Warren’s right about the symptom but misses the root cause. Bezos’ tax rate isn’t an outlier—it’s the system working as designed. The ProPublica data shows billionaires exploit unrealized gains, deductions, and geographic arbitrage (like Florida’s no-income-tax haven) to shrink liabilities.

Amazon’s $X federal tax years and Bezos’ XXXX% true rate from 2014-2018 aren’t loopholes—they’re features of a broken code that lets wealth compound tax-free. D.C. enables this by prioritizing corporate lobbying over closing carried interest or reforming stepped-up basis.

The real scandal? Politicians waste time performatively scolding billionaires instead of rewriting laws to make unrealized gains taxable. Until then, the rich will keep gaming a rigged system while middle-class wage earners foot the bill.
