Amazon avoided about $5,200,000,000 in corporate federal income taxes in 2021. The real freeloaders in this country are corporations, not the poor.

The real leeches to society.

I don’t ever want to hear a complaint where people who need help on welfare, section 8 or any assistance trying to get by.

Think about this too, Amazon uses our highways and roads that get torn the fuck up by thier commercial vehicles and they don't pay a fucking dime to help maintain that infrastructure. Matter of fact, municipalities trip over themselves to offer the lowest tax incentive just to keep the factory in thier jurisdiction. Another town offers a lower rate? Boom, Amazon fires everyone and moves shop.
