Homeless man in wheelchair, a few blocks from the headquarters of Amazon

I often see him in downtown Seattle in the morning when I arrive. There were two other homeless guys nearby: one sleeping on a metal bench (like the one you see on the right above), the other sleeping in a doorway.

Amazon.com’s headquarters are a few blocks away.

The two richest men in the world live several from this spot. It says a lot about income inequality and the success at Amazon and Microsoft in avoiding both state and federal taxes.
