But then it wouldn’t be discretionary and make headlines. Won’t someone think of the billionaires’ egos?!

> Bezos’s annual reported income during these years of $832 million put him only at number 15. He paid an effective tax rate of 23.2%; as we’ve previously reported, Bezos had so little income in a couple of recent years that he was able to pay $0 in federal income taxes in those periods.

What are the unpaid taxes he owes? Tax evasion is a felony, go turn him and collect your reward.

What is with this 'help me, but not like this' attitude?
Of all taxes paid, where will the government allocated funds go? Its not like the government is running out of money to not fund this.

Taxes -> Uncle Sam -> Some Politician Pockets -> Dumbass projects, pointless initiatives [sometimes fueled by lobbying] -> Maybe some of it finally towards underprivileged communities with a 25% chance?
Donating directly to the communities removes all this mess and gets money where it needs to go.

Tax avoidance is not a crime. Evasion is. All these billionaires know how to skirt the rules.
All the billionaires pay lots of money to advisers who will arrange their finances for them.
I bet most billionaires couldn't even name half the companies they control, because they're all shell companies for shuffling funds overseas.
