For context, realtors, brokers, and financers average 3% on their deals.

These whores gave away $3.4 BILLION for a literal 0.0382% "commission." Yeah, no wonder billionaires feel entitled to the world.

They're gonna grab something, a lot of it actually, from the 3.4 bilions as well, those 1.3 millions, are the open lobbying numbers.

I'm not trying to defend that shitbag bezos, but there are a few issues with your analogy. It's actually a total of $3.3M in lobbying which would be more analogous to advertising costs for a realtor. In addition, you're comparing revenue to profit, those are two separate things.

It's not $3.3m because that was money spent in another year for other things. Last year they spent $1.3m and got $3.4b. If a loan originator closes on a loan, they get 3%. Congressmen are voting to give Bezos billions for a few a million *collectively,* which means they each got a few grand each, practically pennies.
