if you want to be precise, amazon doesn't pay income tax, but it does have to pay payroll taxes for each employee, which is proportional to the income they are paid.

amazon changes payscales based on local COL at all if it's offices. if enough employees lived in a zero income tax environment to matter, amazon (or any other large company) would absolutely shift salaries down.
