they should pay even more, they have a lot more that 27% of the wealth.

Bezos paying 500million out of a fortune of 188bn is pathetic.

That's his personal tax liability. True Amazon don't pay enough tax but rich people - however much you don't like them - help pay for the services that those who don't pay tax, use. All these things cost money - lots and lots of it. We're going to find that out pretty soon..

Amazon have some shocking tax practices, Jeff Bezos paying a miniscule percentage of tax doesn't make up for that by a long shot.
your figure of 45% who "don't contribute" only applies to income tax - there are other taxes.
