re: Amazon Pays No Federal Taxes for Second Year Straight

So, you would rather amazon pay millions in taxes, have our inefficient government WASTE that money on studies and surveys, or worse -- and then have amazon raise the prices on its goods to make up for the tax losses?
As well as, hiring less workers, paying them less, etc.
This is what you are for? Make the corp pay more taxes - which benefit you NONE - and then cause the corp to increase the cost of goods, hire less people, pay less per person, etc.?
This is what you want?

They probably have NOL Carryforwards from years of losses building a great company. They will use these up and then begin paying taxes once they are truly making a profit.
Amazon has not really made a profit over its lifetime. But, big government thieves don't want to hear that.

I would like Amazon to pay the same tax rate as startups desiring to compete with them.
God-awful management of our federal tax dollars aside, I want everyone to have to play by the same rules. These “loopholes” are only available to the companies able to pay entire divisions to accountants to locate and exploit them. It’s just one more thing making it extremely difficult for startups to operate in the modern economy. One of the several reasons entrepreneurship and self employment are on a steady downward spiral.
I don’t blame amazon at all for exploiting this tax environment. But it’s not an environment I want us to continue.

A corporation is a legal entity. It is recognized as a person. It should be taxed like one. None of the other nonsense you keep spewing should matter at all and I doubt Amazon would need to raise prices but even if they would it might help keep small businesses alive so STFU you dumbass
