Why should a corporation not pay taxes to support the infrastructure they use (which is paid for by taxpayers) to undertake their business. Amazon ship a lot of goods, that is a lot of road miles. I pay toward the upkeep of the roads and I get considerably less use out of them than Amazon do, in fact they are vital in order for Amazon to do business, so they should be willing to support it. The only reason they dont (support it) is because they are rich enough to argue with the government over it, and that argument is not due to ideological reasons, rather it is because arguing (in court) is cheaper than paying the taxes. So it is just because it is financially beneficial, even if the net effect is negative to society.
