Forbes: Wedding Protesters Say Bezos Should Pay More Tax. Here’s How Much He Likely Did Pay
Activists protested in Venice ahead of Jeff Bezos' wedding, demanding that billionaires like him pay more taxes. They argue the current tax system allows the ultra-wealthy to avoid paying their fair share, with Bezos reportedly paying only 4.5% of his wealth increase in taxes last year.
Bezos' tax strategies include selling stock to realize gains and making substantial charitable donations, which help reduce his tax bill. Proposed wealth taxes could significantly increase what he owes, but such measures have not yet been enacted.

Fox News: Presidents have F---’s to give when it’s about Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a history of provoking strong reactions from U.S. presidents, often leading to profanity-laden outbursts. From Bill Clinton to Barack Obama and Donald Trump, leaders have expressed frustration over Netanyahu's actions and perceived defiance, particularly regarding Middle Eastern policies.
Despite a generally cooperative relationship with Trump, Netanyahu's decision to congratulate Joe Biden on his election victory angered both men, resulting in further profane remarks. Netanyahu's assertive approach, which includes appealing directly to the American public, often irritates U.S. presidents, reflecting the complexities of U.S.-Israel relations.
