46. No Amazon Didn't Fire Me - They Just Get All The Goodies From Government Create Problems Don't Pay

Sat May 5, 2018, 03:10 PM

May 2018

Taxes, and to all the people they crush, tough cookies.

Look at all the "incentives" other cities are going to give Amazon to move there, and create a homeless problem.

The bigger they are, the more they can profit from scale. Amazon should pay more in taxes instead of enriching hedge funds, and billionaires who own all their stock.

They will be the first trillion dollar company, and more than half their workers qualify for food stamps.

I for one am tired of being cheated by huge corporations who the government throws all the gravy to.
