Tribute To Jeff Bezos Amazon Pres

He is rich, but willing to share Sending two billion dollars Yes that is billions, right there To non-profits with no collars Yes, no strings attached. No formal vetting or restrictions Jeff Bezos, the head of Amazon Sent money their way with happy convictions His theory was that since they worked with the homeless They would help them with things they really did need So his crew got together, did research, and asked a few questions Then he sent a hundred million to two dozen for working day seed He started out born to a teenage mom in 1964 His parents did not get along, and his dad left when he was four Jeff was a brilliant guy, went to Princeton and worked on Wall Street But at the age of thirty he started an on-line company so sweet He is one of the richest men in the world today, has to be…. But does that mean he’s heartless? Absolutely not, as you can see. He gives this money freely with no restrictions or big oversight. I am sure he sleeps soundly when he turns out the light.

I googled "What philanthropist gave away the most money last year?" and this article appeared.

I did not know that he did hate him, but I like him ten times better now and I really liked him.

Yes! And thanks!... But when AOC, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren and the rest of Joe Biden's 'friends' rewrite the tax laws, Bezos will either stop giving altogether or move his money offshore, or leave for another country... Too bad there's no real-world alternative to Trump, the Chump... btw, take a look into Warren Buffet's giving: He gave away 3/4 of his net worth 10 years ago, and now he's richer than ever. It's called give-get: Except the Democrat Socialists don't get it. Too bad! :) gw
