The (entirely legal) mechanisms Amazon uses
No one argues it isn't. I am arguing it is unfair as not all businesses will get the same breaks and subsidies. Do you support the government picking winners and losers in business or should there be a level playing field?
You're not a dictionary. Legal tax avoidance is still avoidance. Cry all you want.from your link
The (entirely legal) mechanisms Amazon uses
If it's legal it's not avoidance
ALL legal tax deductions can be used by all businesses.
A legal write off is not a subsidy.
What states do in order to get businesses to operate within their borders has nothing to do with federal income taxes.
So maybe you can tell me exactly what subsidies the federal government gives Amazon
That doesn't mean anything nor does it negate the fact that 3 trillion dollars was transferred from small business to big box stores. Millions of small businesses across the US were forced to close.

You posted the link so it's your link.Not my link. You're not a dictionary. Legal tax avoidance is still avoidance. Cry all you want.
So tell me then exactly what subsidies does the federal government give Amazon?Another dishonest reply.

I'm not going back through 8 pages to look for one example.I already posted one stating how we subsidize their shipping. People spin it and pretend the link isn't even there but whatever........................
It's not like it's a secret that many, many, many love the socialist types of programs for the rich.
Foreign governments and what they do aren't any of our concernInternational:
State and Local:Global governments gave Amazon $4.7bn+ in subsidies for data centers, warehouses, and other space
The real number could be a lot higher
Will you ever do your own goddamn homework instead of just reacting like a stuck pig?Amazon Gets Billions While State And Local Government Budgets Collapse
Amazon and other companies get billions in largely wasted tax subsidies while state and local governments are starved for revenue.
I'm not going back through 8 pages to look for one example.
Still not the issue, but do keep crying about it..And if legal tax deductions are "avoidance" then you are guilty of it too
No. Do your own homework.Foreign governments and what they do aren't any of our concern
State and local governments are not the federal government. Each state can decide for itself whatit wants to do.
So tell me what FEDERAL subsidies does Amazon get?
I looked it up myself and that isn't a subsidy. it's the post office trying to compete with UPS and FedEx by offering a competitive price.And I'm not going to constantly repeat myself because people are too lazy to catch themselves up.
Still not the issue, but do keep crying about it..
And yet you cannot tell me how much money in subsidies the US GOVERNMENT has given AmazonNo. Do your own homework.
And "international" somehow excludes the U.S. in your brain?
You're the one whining about tax avoidance not me.Still not the issue, but do keep crying about it..
I looked it up myself and that isn't a subsidy. it's the post office trying to compete with UPS and FedEx by offering a competitive price.
Gee, the company said it so it must be true!
