For anyone making over a million, not paying taxes is greed to the point of treason.

For Amazon, the non-payment is an ineffable insult, beyond any obscenity. Especially when it comes from a monopoly. The penalty should also be unmentionable.

What we really need is a maximum income limit, above which 100% is forfeit, for people and for corporations. If the company is too big, it should be split up. Failure to comply would be a capital offense with a bounty on those who offend.

I buy a lot from Amazon and I am sure some of the write off is charitable donations. I shop using the Amazon Smile program which lets me pick a non profit that they donate to. I picked a local nature center just a few miles from where I live, tax avoidance well spent.

Yes, not fair, but it is based on tax law which gives businesses a break for investing in new capitol equipment, labor and the rest.

I think corporations ought to be liable for an alternative minimum tax, similar to what some individuals have to pay regardless of the income that is reported.

not fair

Not no but fuck no!
