Amazon Paid No Federal Taxes In 2017

I'm really happy to hear you are getting rid of your amazon link. We seriously need to stop shopping at these places. Yes you might pay a little more somewhere else, but it's worth it to keep your soul.

Amazon is one of the most expensive sites to buy from.They charge huge seller fees and sellers pass that onto you.

we need to just abandon the doll lair entirely, then jump off the pirate ship and laugh in their face if they ever try it again

Amazon could be challenged by a similar site built on the blockchain.There are few startups already like Openbazaar,but it lacks of important features and full of bugs.But if someone come up with a multi-vendor blockchain (no fees charged since you don't feed the owner,because there is none 😊) that would be a gamechanger.

Jeff Bazos is a true sociopath. Can you imagine actually having to power to end world hunger, feed and clothe the homeless, wipe out all of our nations student debt, provide health insurance for every American and still have money left over?

I can’t even take my family to the movies without making a sacrifice here or there.

In the universe? Doubtful.Even the visible universe (aka whats been close enough to us for its light to be able to reach us in the time that star existed) there are many, many suns, planets and what not. Money -aka didgets on a computer - is liquid power. But in a civilisation a mere 50 years of good scientific work ahead of us, even the poorest would have more power than this guy. Feed the world? No problem, just send the nanobots to collect nutrients from wherever and 3D print a few protein sequencisers or whatever... Throwing money at it might be sufficient or it might not be. At some population it definatly wouldnt be - sure, you might have enough money to pay for 50% more than is globaly consumed of ressource X. But if we cant produce ressource X at that ammount, youll end up with the same amount, only that you have raised the price by 50%. Now, im not saying his money wouldnt be helpful at all. I am all for taxation, universal healthcare or an unconditional base income. But we still shouldnt overlook that if you buy something, it affects the economy which in turn effects what you can buy.

I did taxes for a guy who used to work at Amazon's management department. The amount of crap he had to put up with was unbearable to the point where he had to find another job. And this was the MANAGEMENT part of it. If this is what the lower managers had to go through, I'm afraid at what the workers would have to go through.

Bezos needs to pay his fair share!

I've been hearing numerous talking heads talk about Social Security running out. Bullshit! Just remove the social security tax caps, and make rich assholes pay their fair share.

Did you know the cutoff for social security tax is $127,200? If you make $127,200 you owe 6.2% of that in taxes, or $7886.40. But if you're Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon and richest man on earth, you made $40 Billion dollars last year, and you only had to pay $7886.40 in social security taxes, or .0000005% of his total pay.

Seems fair that you have to give up a notable 6.2% chunk of your pay, and Bezos and other billionares pay a half a millionth of a percent of their massive wealth that could feed and house the world just on the interest alone.

Our tax money pays for Amazon. If we don't shop there, we're wasting our tax money, right?

There should be no corporate taxes. The corporate tax rate just sets the budget for bribing the politicians. The taxes they can't eliminate through corrupt laws giving them an unfair advantage we pay when we purchase their products at an increased price. On top of that we pay more state and local taxes because they tax on the price inflated by the corporate tax. Maybe when people realize that everything costs 30% more than it has to, they will quit sending the same tax and spend corrupted morons to DC.
