I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!

well uh,
the Postal system operating at a loss is not Amazon's fault.

He's such a petty little bitch sometimes. Please tell me how Amazon is breaking current tax law? Are they supposed to voluntarily pay a higher rate than required?
They pay a lower rate with the Postal System because they are the Postal Service's largest customer. Has he heard of volume discounts before?
And putting small retailers out of business? Since when did the Republican party stop believing in capitalism?
This is 0% about Amazon business practices and 100% about trying to tank their stock because the Washington Post won't be a propaganda tool for him like Fox News.

Trump just trolling Bezos

The postal service operates at a loss due to mail. Their parcel services are profitable, and incidentally compete with UPS/Fedex so raising prices on those would just provoke Amazon to switch and make the postal service lose even more money.

To be fair, the postal system has been hemorrhaging money for a long time.

Absolutely true,
but still not Amazon's fault.
In Louisiana for instance the law is that the citizen is responsible for paying the tax on mail and internet ordered goods
so, it is not Amazon's fault that citizens are violating the tax laws

A rare time that we agree. Where we disagree is whether this is something the President of the United States should spend his time doing.

Yeah they operate under the same tax code that every company in this country operates under including the Trump Organization

UPS and FedEx are begging Trump to kill the USPS deal so they can "lose" money with Amazon

Donald doesn't understand free market capitalism?
I am pretty sure that Amazon collects state sales tax.
