DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): I'm for unleashing the billionaires. Let them finally fight back. You had Ken Griffin finally saying enough is enough. Is it time for the billionaires to punch back?
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Well, the billionaires need better PR, and this is a step in the right direction. It is a company that employs a million people. A million Americans. And they make great salaries. $50,000 to be a driver, and if you're corporate you make six figures easy. It's a great company to start out in. Stock price. Ten years ago, stock price at Amazon was $50 a share. Today it's, like, $250. The guy is a multi-billionaire because he owns a lot of the company. And you know how much his salary is? His salary is $81,000 a year, because that's what he paid himself in 1998 and it's kept that way. Now, didn't pay a lot of income tax on $81,000 a year because you can't tax wealth.
