Really? Amazon’s tax rate was far lower than those working essential jobs such as teachers and nurses. Almost all corporate tax rates are far lower after incentives and write offs. What are you talking about lol

True Amazon does weird things to pay less taxes but they create a huge amount of value and their workers and shareholders of which there are quite a few are taxed.
