Seems bizarre to only think taxes go into the Military Industrial Complex. I mean, sure they take their cut--but I'd like to think that our taxes go towards maintaining our civil society as well! Edit: Seems very much cutting off your nose to spite your face, if one is 'happy' a corporation isn't paying taxes

Per my other comment, the military's cut is 16% of 3.8 trillion. Energy, Environment, and Science take a combined 2%. Social Security and Medicare take a combined 60% (!), which are funded by entirely separate taxes (payroll taxes). Amazon still pays those. Trust me, you don't want a corporation paying income taxes. It just results in dead Iraqis and global surveillance.
