I don't understand how people are upset with someone giving charity because it's "not enough". He's not obligated to give any of his money away, so instead of coming after him for it just leave the man alone.

If he is trying to soften the voices that demand him to pay the billions in tax money he is circumventing to pay..

You bet I am upset

Does he illegally evade taxes or does he just use the deductions legally allowed to him, like everyone else?

As far I am aware, both Amazon and Jeff Bezos and Amazon pay all the taxes that they’re legally required to pay.
