Thank you for pointing it out Bernie. Part of the reason the lying pile of human feces is president is because he did say something true every once in a while. Amazon's size and advantages are putting many people in trouble. Fact.
I think your tax rate should be set by your market cap.
You pay higher taxes to make up for your huge advantages, and ability to manipulate markets (and save on shipping).
Of course Amazon and their friends pay no corporate income tax. That is for small businesses like mine.
Some of us smell the rats, including Bernie, and some of us don't. How many politicians complain about the fact that most large corporations pay little to no corporate income tax? Along with the wealthy. The rest of us working folks are taxed like the dickens. The wealthy pay a lot of taxes, but it is peanuts to how much more they make. How much do the Kochs or Waltons pay in their growing wealth? Nothing.
