  what about the credits?? who will pay for those?

    The credits? Nobody, they're tax credits and not free money to Amazon. Its a drop in the bucket considering all of the income and sales tax people will end up paying.

    The whole point of credits is that no one pays. It comes out of the winnings brought in by Amazon. If Amazon does not come, there are no winnings, and no one pays. If Amazon does come, it comes from their tax payments which would have otherwise not existed, and again no one pays.
