Your friendly neighbor Amazon hasn't paid a dime in taxes two years straight!

Just to let you all know as you do your taxes and count your pennies.

They employ 600,000+ people though. Those people sure pay taxes.

It's pathetic but this is how the world works unfortunately. Imagine if people like him paid 40% taxes, we would likely not need to pay as much and be in a better financial state.

I can't tell if this is a joke or you're this dumb.

"We are witness to a cynical game in which Amazon duped New York into offering unprecedented amounts of tax dollars to one of the wealthiest companies on Earth for a promise of jobs that would represent less than 3 percent of the jobs typically created in our city over a 10-year period,"

You dont pay taxes on your net worth. Or did you think Jeff Bezos has 120 billion in taxable income?

I believe I read that he pulls out a billion or so a year to finance some side projects and he would have to pay taxes that way but hes not directly taxed on what his company is worth.

40% of what? Like 99% of his wealth is Amazon shares. There’s nothing to tax.

I’m torn on this...

Part of me is like “**** those crooked bastards” but part of me is like God bless them... get as much money as you can get because the government is just going to waste and mismanage whatever you give them.

Corporations absolutely should not be allowed to dodge taxes to this degree while the middle class is getting ****ed in the ass.

BUT...

The flip size of that coin is that citizens shouldn’t be paying an income tax, either.

The IRS needs to go away. It’s a ****ing scam that breeds corruption on multiple levels of society.
