“Nobody has eaten the mona lisa and we feel jeff bezos needs to take a stand and make this happen,” reads the petition.
The internet is going wild over a Chaneg.org petition demanding that Amazon founder, billionaire and Twitter’s favourite ballsack, Jeff Bezos, buy and eat the Mona Lisa.
Started by Kane Powell from Reddit, the petition requires 500 signatures. At the time of writing, 287 people have already signed up.
“gobble da lisa,” one commenter said.
Jeff Bezos has had a big run in the news cycle this week.
Yesterday, the US Treasury Department asked law enforcement authorities to investigate the disclosure of tax records cited in a media report, which indicated that Bezos and Tesla-founder, Elon Musk, paid no federal income taxes during some years – shocking.
US media outlet, ProPublica said it obtained “a vast trove of Internal Revenue Service data on the tax returns of thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people, covering more than 15 years”.
White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki has since stated that: “any unauthorised disclosure of confidential government information” was illegal.
Did you pay at least $1 in federal income taxes this year? CONGRATS, you paid more income taxes than Jeff Bezos did in 2017 and Elon Musk did in 2018!
RT if you agree that the ultra-rich in America should pay more in taxes than working families.

The groundbreaking discovery of tax evasion comes amid Bezos’ announcement that he will be going to space on the first crewed flight of a rocket ship made by his space company, Blue Origin.
The scheduled flight is set for July 20th, 15 days after Bezo’s official date of resignation as Amazon CEO.
His younger brother Mark Bezos will also be accompanying him. Let’s hope it’s a one-way trip.
Jeff Bezos (who’s worth $190 billion) legally paid $0 in taxes for two years and got a tax *credit* one year, while his company (which is worth $1.7 trillion) legally paid $0 in taxes for two years…
and people think workers getting $300/week on unemployment are the freeloaders

But, if you are a space enthusiast, you too can join the brothers as a third crew member is set to join them – Paying taxes is not a requirement.
