- qudat 8y agoLobbying is not the problem, the problem is the system that allows itself to be lobbied.
- tivert 8y ago> Lobbying is not the problem, the problem is the system that allows itself to be lobbied. The problem is both. It is a problem that people lobby for selfish policies that ignore the needs of others, and it is a problem that the system sometimes listens to them.
- diminoten 8y agoYeah, because Amazon was around in early 20th century...
- xienze 8y ago> Most people do not have the resources to lobby for that sort of tax system. EVERY argument about what is "morally right" w.r.t. paying taxes is a matter of perspective. To you, what Amazon is doing is immoral. To someone worse off than you, what you do routinely on your taxes (deducting mortgage interest, student loan interest, etc.) is immoral.
- nradov 8y agoMany people pay zero income taxes. And individuals can also carry forward certain losses from previous years, just like Amazon and other corporations.
