Do you think small businesses get equal treatment?
Now this is an argument I'm more than happy to entertain. Preferential treatment to large businesses due to regulatory capture and bribery is an entirely different subject than exploitation of labor surplus.

Kinda yeah. How can anyone compete with amazon when local governments bend over backwards for them? Do you think small businesses get equal treatment?
Maybe if we didn’t have such punitive tax measures small business wouldn’t be stifled and people wouldn’t be required to rely on the likes of amazon

You do realize this has been said about every major company ever, right? Among them...…..
Sears
Blockbuster
Woolworth
JC Penny
K-Mart
The list goes on.
Did you know that in the early 2000s, our govt actually looked at Blockbuster for being a possible monopoly? And, for Sears, our govt thought they were horrible for supposedly unfair trade practices in relation to malls...….and precisely the time Malls were beginning to fricking DIE>
For some reason, you liberals see the world in snapshot and have zero ability to even conceptualize that it will not remain as it is. One day, some of the companies you hate, will be overtaken even if you don't do jack shite to cause it.

Do you know how many people Amazon employs? Those are people the govt is not supporting. Amazon is given incentives to put their building in certain areas because of the employment of the people in that community. They do actually pay employment taxes, healthcare costs, taxes on running their businesses.
Amazon actually forces brick and mortar stores to lower their prices to be competitive. Thats what we as consumers want.
