> Amazon - or its customer, actually - pays for the delivery of goods on the said roads. That delivery price pays, among other things, for the wear and tear of roads, more than enough.
Unless the delivery company is also paying some sort of branding royalty payment to a brass-plate in Luxembourg, in which case you have to fall back onto consumption taxes, and the regressive nature of that mechanism.
In any case, the roads are only one, er, concrete example; the profitability of a company like Amazon, or even its simple ability to operate, relies on a whole swathe of services which are provided to companies and to citizens through the government.
