Silverman: Billionaires cost us money

She uses Amazon's Bezos as an example. Sure he's donating $2 billion for a worth cause, but what about the worthy cause called his workers, who need public assistance because their wages are so low. She also points out that Amazon paid $0 in federal income tax last year, so they do not contribute 1 penny to the social programs their employees need to survive. Think of this next time you order from Amazon. Unless you don't give a shit about it as long as you get your own immediate needs conveniently met.
