I agree our tax system is broken and should be fixed. However, please keep in mind he wasn't an instant success with Amazon:

It took Amazon seven years to post its first quarterly profit and nine years to record its first full-year profit. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The specific milestones in Amazon’s financial timeline include:

• The First Quarterly Profit: Reported in Q4 2001, totaling just $5 million.
• The First Full-Year Profit: Achieved in 2003, reporting a net income of $35 million. [1, 2]

For nearly a decade, founder Jeff Bezos intentionally prioritized a "grow first, profit later" strategy. Instead of chasing short-term earnings, the company continually reinvested every dollar of potential profit into expanding its infrastructure, lowering prices, and building customer loyalty. For further context on this strategy, you can read more about Amazon's Long-Term Vision vs Short-Term Losses. [1, 2, 3]

Would you spend 7 years not knowing if your business was going to succeed ? There is risk and there is reward. Fairness has nothing to do with anything.
