I want Amazon to pay taxes everywhere it operates, not just to the US. Or to Ireland in which it has its headquarters! Otherwise, it's like a global sales tax that goes to one country, whereas it has stripped taxable income from high streets all over the world. Every country needs a tax base.

Good for the seven, who got there fair and square and provide a great example to others.

But I really wish there were no billionaires. It's more than any person needs. And if the money was better spread, democracy would work better and there would be more innovation in my view, not less, because there would be more people with sufficient capital to risk starting their own businesses

That Amazon gets away without paying federal taxes is galling!
There are few black CEO's let alone billionaires in America.

The combined net worth of the 2020 class of the 400 richest Americans was $3.2 trillion, up from $2.7 trillion in 2017.[1] As of October 2020, there were 614[2] billionaires—a record high—in the United States.[1]
