I think that's fair. Still feels like it's not the real problem, though. GP says "most people feel they are getting screwed" -- I don't think improving Amazon's tax compliance (to quote another commenter who replied to me) is going to change that. Even if a new-and-improved IRS could force Amazon and its ilk into 100% compliance, I'm pretty sure everyone would feel just as screwed as they do now.

> most people feel they are getting screwed For a moment, I had trouble remembering whether that assertion was in the context of getting screwed by the government or by freeloaders. I think to avoid people feeling screwed, we'd need to focus the conversation on what people receive from the government rather than what they or others give.
