Not really. You brought up Italy. I suggest you take a look at them as an indication of what we'll be seeing very soon.

Here come the bailouts again. Tax payers will get chump change and trump’s billionaire buddies like Bloomberg will take the cream again. Why are you so obsessed with people who make a lot of money? Are you jealous? Envious you aren't as successful? They don't owe you a damn thing. What's your angle besides being jealous and upset about not being rich?

Because big corporations and billionaires don’t pay their fair share of taxes on their income and profits like the rest of us are forced to.. So you can stop projecting your flaws onto me with your silly pettiness, thank you.

I’d add that a billionaire that has employees on public assistance because of poor pay (such as Walmart) or employees that are kept below full time status to avoid paying them health benefits, hasn't ‘earned’ their billions. They’ve exploited the labor of others for their own gain.

Guys.........I am a man of the people.......but, do you get how business works? Did any of you even read history and I am going beyond business? Feudal times? Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Knights, Barons, Bishops, Lords, Dukes, vassals, serfs, peasants, etc.
This crap has been in existence since we evolved from nomadic hunter and gathers to "civilized" society.

It most certainly has. However that does not make it any less despicable and some still refuse to see it.

Some of us see America, the greatest economy ever known to man.
Some of us see America, the most powerful Nation ever known to man.
Some of us see America, where the lowest can rise to the highest with brains and effort.
Too bad you find it despicable.

Killing people for money is despicable. Favoring the wealthy is despicable.
I guess you've missed all the changes made in this country to help it become the nation we have today. There are changes still yet to be made in order for it to be even greater.

Rockefeller said it best, "I'd rather make 1% of of 100 than 100% off of 1".... that goes for taxes also. Tax breaks are given to large corporations to set up shop in our backyards for a damn good reason. But hey, some folks want to cry about putting 100,000 people to work....on behalf of Florida, thank you Amazon for coming here

Coronavirus hits already struggling US farmers: ‘We’ve stopped saying it can’t get worse’ https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/28/coronavi...-in-prices.htmlDamn these welfare queens ALWAYS need to get bailout over something. They’ve taken more bailout money than the big 3 in the 08 crisis. Man.....

Make 1% off 100 instead of 100% off of 1. Would you rather Amazon move those jobs overseas? The median payroll for their U.S employees is 35k. Thats 27B in taxable income plus the trickle down into the economy....yep give Amazon their tax breaks!

Oh I understand. You seem to think it's fine for corporation to bribe our nation. If we expect them to pay their fair share they threaten to move those jobs overseas. Most people would consider that one of two things. Either bribery or blackmail. Unless of course a corporation does it. Then it's just business.
You don't seem to have an issue with that. I do. But I certainly understand how it all works.

Amazon couldn’t move all those jobs overseas. They couldn’t ship Prime orders fast enough to keep customers happy. They need warehouses across the country to do what they do.

Hard to deliver to my house in two days from China or India... Their business model and the key to their success is warehousing and free delivery under Prime. You can't do that from overseas... smh

What dytnbacker's post seems to remind me of is what we saw as kids and he seems to advocate it. He seems to think it's fine that companies bribe their way into paying no taxes.
Remember that one kid who always said, "You either play by my rules or I'm taking my ball and going home"? Yeah, me too. Nobody liked that kid.

I'd like to see amazon try to take those jobs overseas Fair point. Mexico and Canada, although not overseas, I'm sure could strike a deal. Let's have some illegals driving trucks across the boarder to drone hubs and have our skies filled with drones operated out of India lol.That would cut at least half those jobs. What do you think would happen to your Prime membership if they had to pay taxes? Amazon is an example for you non thinkers

So because we think corporations should actually pay taxes, we are the ones who do not think? A nice little tariff on Amazon for everything that comes across the border would stop all of that. If American companies remove American jobs, make them pay.

I'm actually not. It seems a lot of people are though. Amazon has their distribution plants here due to simply logistics. What you are proposing he may do won't work.
You support him using one community bidding against another to give him the biggest tax breaks. You think legal bribery and blackmail is perfectly okay.
Before you keep droning on about how much he helps a community, you may wish to look at what a family of three or four actually pay in taxes based on your stated "median income of 35k".

Interesting you point the taxes out on 35k family. My girlfriend just did her taxes and fits into your criteria. School teacher making 35k with 2 kids just got a refund that amounted to twice of what she paid....go figure

Exactly. Bezos is actually helping her drain tax payer funds, not add to them. So it looks like she's already being supported by a portion of government welfare,while Bezos is pocketing billions.

Lmao Pit you're comical....since he signed over the businesses to his kids and doesn't take a paycheck for his Presidency I would say ZERO! It's his tax plan that is taking care of my girlfriend. She hates him but it least she said thanks Trump! And what does this have to do with you blaming Bezos?
