Keep in mind they received a $1.46 of tax payer money for every box they ship too.
If Amazon paid zero taxes, how do they then get a “tax break”?
Where’s Nancy Pelosi to comment on this??
And the last that I saw, Amazon was still running the NRA’s TV channel and ignoring the anti-Second-Amendment academic herd.
defer or postpone tax liability from prior years
I’m sure Bezos will echo Gates in saying he should pay more taxes - then do nothing about it.
Must be made by the same toy company that makes those imaginary debt ceilings.
Amazon also has a special category and prices for NRA books and is one of the companies that has *not* caved in to the teachers, instructors, students and feminists for gun control.
The thought that they paid no federal taxes isn’t quite accurate. For each employee they had they paid half of their employment taxes, half of their FICA and half of their Medicaid. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
A gazillion companies don’t pay taxes and get perks from the cities they’re in. This practice is WRONG.
If we can’t get across-the-board tax cuts, I’m all for tax cuts wherever they can be enacted.
I know what you’re thinking: that’s not fair etc. Do YOU take every d@mn deduction you can on your taxes? of course you do.
When I look them up, it says Amazon paid $769 million in taxes on $3.8 billion in income in 2017.
Did something get re-stated?
“Keep in mind they received a $1.46 of tax payer money for every box they ship too. “
I don’t think so but you can explain ...
It’s ironic that before this was a Trump tax cut this forum was pretty much populist about corporate taxes and companies paying 0 taxes. Especially after the 08-09 recession.
And yet Bezos won’t quit bashing Trump. Go figure.
Bezos ought to show a little gratitude and let up a bit on trashing Trump through that paper (WP) he owns.
Yes, its time time to stop subsidizing Bezo’s shipping with the USPS.... Its unfair trade competition, and should be illegal.
Good, as long that keep their prices low.
