That’s measured from market lows - if run from Jan 2020 it would show that they had lost considerable wealth......
Ahh so factually as opposed to morally wrong? There's a shock

Not to worry though.. they are all giving it away to worthy causes aren't they... anyone ?Says who?
says me.....you can see if from the underlying share prices i.e. Berkshire Hathaway is most of Warren Buffets wealth. Elon Musk Tesla etc..Says who?
That all sounds great in theory and I like the concept in Utopia. However it doesn't really happen like that in the real world does it.Mostly entrepreneurs who started businesses, worked very hard, took huge risks, and were incredibly successful, created millions of jobs and lots of wealth for others on their journeys, and now publicly or privately give a lot to philanthropic causes - controlling where their money goes rather than leaving that to Governments through the tax system. But let’s ignore all the good stuff and knock them down just because many of the relatively unsuccessful and un-wealthy can’t bear to think they weren’t bright/committed/brave/lucky enough to achieve as much themselves
Oh here we go. So which of these entrepreneurs are seeking bailouts? And what successful businesses don’t look to reduce production/service costs and take advantage of tax concessions - that is after all what tax concessions are for!
The current system will have to change. Mainstreet is now being culled and will be left devastated by this crisis. Jobs will not return.You are kidding right? One word to start with.........Amazon. I'm not even going to waste my breath or time if you support the tax positions of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and all of them.
They use, abuse, bleed countries dry then leave for another to do the very same. If you support that, then we are very different people. You would do the same would you? I certainly wouldn't if I were any one of those businesses.
How much wealth does one business or person need? Obscene.
So usual Rockits sanctimonious nonsense. Makes a statement about them seeking bailouts, gets challenged on it, ignores it because it was total tosh. Moves onto something else.You are kidding right?

Actually he didn’t.So usual Rockits sanctimonious nonsense. Makes a statement about them seeking bailouts, gets challenged on it, ignores it because it was total tosh. Moves onto something else.
So please give me an example of Amazon using abusing and bleeding a country dry and leaving to do the same to another?
And what do you actually know about the tax position of these companies? What you read in the Sun?
And as for the question about how much these businesses or people need, that’s just pathetic. It’s like me asking how many cars you need!
Yes, you get the picture the media wants you to believe about tax. It amazing how people choose to believe the media when it supports their own beliefs but not when it doesn’t.
If Governments want business to pay more tax, it’s easy, they just have to change the tax rules. While it’s legal to claim tax concessions and tax credits companies will do so. Indeed it’s the fiduciary duty of company directors to maximise profits, including my claiming all legal tax credits.
Oh and sorry if I thought Rockits was talking about the entrepreneurs we were talking about from the original post. I should have realised he had wandered off on a tangent.
And that’s all you’ve got, the piece about staff in France? But you agree that the rest of his rant about Amazon was nonsense? Or I look forward to further explanation of how Amazon is using abusing and bleeding a country dry and leaving to do the same to another?
And it's not even 10am here in France.Time for some scantily clad ladies?
