Jeff Bezos paying sales tax on his morning coffee is enough for the people looking for an extra dopamine hit by rah rahing Amazon. $15/hour still isn’t enough to live on in many cities and large scale tax evasion by corporations is one of the single most insidious epidemics in our society today.

- pm90 8y agoI agree that corporations are evading taxes on a massive scale, but can we also applaud them for taking steps in the right direction when they do?
- radicaldreamer 8y agoYou can applaud them for what they actually do without delving into apologism (“who says Amazon doesn’t pay taxes”)
- ericd 8y agoWhy not specifically enumerate the taxes that Amazon is avoiding? Sales tax is the only one I'm aware of, and that seems to be dramatically lessened nowadays as they build out more warehouses for faster shipping.
- pathseeker 8y agoYou need to look up the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance. If Amazon was evading taxes and there was any evidence of it, they would be hit hard by the IRS.
