You know or we could just tax the rich, the fact that our govt is paying tax rebates to the richest companies in the world is insane lol let alone while they consistently dodge those tax liabilities they are getting money back from.

Enough morons trying to launch themselves into orbit for a minute while that money could be used to give money monthly income to every person in America below the ultra ultra rich.

The difference between 10 million dollars and 10 billion dollars direct income is only important in the eye of the wealth hoarder.

Not what's happening. The computer is telling you that by their tax breaks outsumming their tax remittals, they have paid "$0" dollars. We know this as cookie stealing.

my dude you are not earning over a million yearly.... and if you are then your taxes would be going down by every estimate over the last 30 years.

When the rich dont pay taxes, that is when OUR taxes go up because no one is paying them other than the lower classes.

Also @whale biologist you are failing to understand that states individually are giving tax rebates and leniency to get amazon warehouses.... this is common practice lmk if you need an article.

What I dont get here is how you see the 6 largest corporations in America paying nothing in taxes and you think yeah this system works, the neo liberal mind is very convoluted

Yeah, the 6 largest corporations in America are paying nothing in taxes. Hard to refute this...holy smokes are you dumb.

Typically when I've seen people make claims that the rich or corporations are paying nothing in taxes, what they really mean is that they think the rich and corporations should be taxed based on their net worth. If you think individuals and businesses should be taxed this way, you're a communist, or you're poor and dumb, could be all of the above. You're welcome.

If you are in the top 40% of income earners then you are part of paying 84% of the country's taxes. The bottom 60% pay fuck all. If you are in the bottom 40% then you are not only not paying taxes but you are getting money back.

Guess what? The people they hire at those warehouses pay taxes from their earnings. Yet that money came from Amazon. Curious!

If you tax from the top down, the revenue vanishes because they don't have cash for capital expenditures, like building warehouses to employ more of those workers.
