The corp. tax rate should be 30% for the highest brackets (millions of dollars a year) and a Value Added Tax should replace sales tax, (tax profit, not sales, the tax should be baked into price). For corporations earning less than $200,000/year in gross revenue should be taxed at a 10% corporate rate.

If the owner or Shareholders want to draw out the money, have to pay personal taxes that are higuer than corporation taxes, if they reinvest the money the enterprise doesn't pay taxes, but creates jobs and expenses and indirectly they are government incomes.

The people they indirectly affect when doing business have. It's a cycle that has to be started somewhere in order for it to create a domino effect. It's the reason why multiple cities across the nation are begging Amazon to stablish it's second headquarters there and why they provide incentive to many different companies.

They didn't owe anything for federal income taxes in 2018 because they had lost so much money in previous years that they were able to bring those loses forward to offset their income in 2018, thereby "making" no money. They didn't pay taxes because their losses equaled or exceeded their profits, and you can't pay taxes if you've lost money.

Yes, but people don’t want to hear that. They don’t want to hear that Amazon is paying lots and lots of money for personal property taxes on every single piece of equipment each year in addition to employment taxes. They don’t want to hear that these tax rules are not unique to Amazon but are also available to both individuals and businesses to carryover losses to apply towards gains in the future. The average American does not understand taxes as they are complicated in how they are structured. It’s much easier to just say that they’re bad and not paying their “fair share”.

And that is the real crux of the issue. I work at Amazon right now and they recently build an automated warehouse near me and the place I work at has had their employment heavily dip and the number of products going through the building doing the same. A building that only a while ago was one of the biggest in the area is now a shadow of it's former self. This means those cuts definitely wont return back to the people. And with Amazon going fully automated other warehouses will shortly follow suit and possibly buy or rent Amazon machines similar to how many data centers are owned by Amazon. Many don't even know that games like even Fortnite run on Amazon data centers.

3:36 yeah amazon was already going to invest that money, but if they have more money to invest then they will build more plants and invest more in machinery creating more jobs, arguably using that money to strengthen the economy more than the government would, doing things like subsidizing corn just to make certain farmers richer at the expense of the health of most Americans...

Corporate tax reduction doesn’t mean that individuals in the company doesn’t pay any taxes. They pay their fair share of taxes. Same money is that company is making is charged with taxes multiple times when it change hands, i.e from corporate books to employees pays.

Amazon has created thousands of low skilled jobs that the US has desperately needed for decades. I put it to you that allowing Amazon to grow in such a way and employ more people who can pay tax is better than taxing them more heavily and slowing their growth, thus reducing the number of jobs they can create. Looking at the numbers, its clear this approach works.

I remember 25 years ago one of my co workers with overtime made $50,000. But a big chunk of that goes to taxes. For I wasn't married had no dependents etc so I also paid a lot in both state and federal tax. California has high state taxes.

I'm OK with Amazon not paying taxes. It's the Amazon customers faults. The people that think Amazon not paying fair taxes should not be buying from the Amazon website. The consumer holds the power. But it's up to them to make the right choice. Amazon didn't get so big on it's own. It took lots of consumers.

No, it's literally the governments fault. I'm glad Amazon provides a great service, and I reward them with my money. But it's fair to say that they should be paying their fair share and treat their employees decently. It's extremely inconvenient for every consumer to have to research every company they have to buy from, it should be left to the government to put a blanket tax so I don't have to worry about it. Government involvement works.

The surprising lack of education you all have on basic economics is unnerving.

Far better that Amazon invest that money in the business and their employees.

Thus you have a decline in education funding, infrastructure, middle-class jobs, wages, medical benefits, etc. They want off the bus but they still want to be able to tell it where to go.

All big companies require big countries with NUKE to back them up. Otherwise, they would be like a big PIE and every countries would get in and divide them to piece. The reason Amazon get this big simply because of US's military and US's trade route. The same way Alibaba get so big because of China's government. Companies depend on countries for trade route and protection, simple as that.

It is completely normal, morally and mathematically, for a company to lay zero income taxes, as 0 is x% of 0. If they reinvest all their profits, by expanding the business, being more efficient, employing new people, and, as a last resort, if by this means avoiding to pay income taxes, they even give more money to current employees, then the government can just tax the employees and this is better for the economy as a whole.
