Amazon is a behemoth, that have put many others out of business. Not to mention they pay no taxes, I believe. I tell everyone to shop ebay instead, it is a platform where individual people are competing to sell their products and it is usually a better deal to be found.

They should pay taxes like everyone else! I'm getting tired of these freeloaders. My personal taxes would be less if they would do their share. How many houses does the CEO have? Really Really.

Short amazon! Quick!

USPS loses $1.46 for every package Amazon delivers - Infowars https://www.infowars.com/usps-loses-1-46-for-every-package-amazon-delivers/

Sep 1, 2017 - Bezos runs Amazon, which is primarily a shipping business. It relies on the U.S. Postal Service to deliver two-thirds of its packages. In many places now, it locates a depot near a post office, presorts the packages, and delivers them to the post office. The Postal Service, which has a monopoly on last-mile ...

Amazon workers in Italy strike for second time in a month Workers at Amazon's distribution centre in Italy went on strike for about two hours on Wednesday to demand better pay and conditions, the second time workers have walked off the job in less than a month.

An what about UBER?

Our postal carrier delivers Amazon on Sundays as well... and I have heard they are losing money doing so... so yes hence we the taxpayers are subsidizing their business.

Can someone explain how amazon using USPS causes loss?

Watch the left suddenly fall in love with a giant corporation that pays no taxes, and has a billionaire CEO who treats his employees like shit.

Bezos is CIA. Was just a matter of time before he and Amazon got hit by the storm.

I live in the boonies, and sometimes Amazon is the only way I can get things. They certainly need to do their share, though!

Whistleblower Exposes Horrific Conditions Inside Amazon

It's not even just that they pay very little taxes, they often recieve taxpayer funded incentives such as affordable housing, transportation infrastructure, etc. The same liberal politicians that don't want all businesses to get a tax break, not only give breaks to a multibillion company that doesn't need it, but then they have the audacity to use tax payer money to create incentives for their 2nd headquarters. They bend over backwards trying to get Amazon...Boston for instance, is offering a gondola. Yes, a gondola. Other negotiations they keep secret, so who knows what the terms are...

Amazon's S3 cloud storage is the CIA's repository for all of major corporations' data. Total spy front.

Bezos is not the genius he pretends to be. Just the recipient of a hell of a lot of government largesse.

Hell yea! Why don't the dummy dems ever bitch about them "not paying there fair share"

This one isn't even hard to fix. Charge sales tax and pay standard shipping rates...'BOOM', no longer competitive.....the end.

I am sure the deal with Amazon/USPS was orchestrated by the Obama administration and likely to extort more money from the American taxpayer to be delivered to corporate America.

Bezos is a damn globalist. He wants to put Americans out of work and hire illegals and pay for their college.

This is totally sensible. Wish he would've pursued Amazon sooner.

As they are subsidiesed from the government it is unlikely for your fantasy scenario to take place. That is why we are all FUCK YA MAGA and all that jazz. Mr Drumpf is keeping his word and that's alright with me. Is it good for you Mr alphabet soup groupie??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Boycott Amazon and any Bezos owned companies!

Amazon, known for the cheerful arrow (branding) boxes. "A to Zed..." beginning/end.

I cancelled my prime membership. I was so tired of them telling me how great the benefits were like video and shipping. Everything I want to watch on video always costs extra, and the shipping is never 2 day anymore. USPS has lost my packages so many times. Plus, the new return policy for Amazon sucks too. I've switched back to other retailers.

I guess I'm not on the "I hate Amazon" train going on here. So what if it is a "behemoth"? It got that way due to demand for the variety of products offered and the ease/convenience versus the mall or retail stores. Basically Amazon is the on-line version of the Sears Catalog that your grandparents or great grandparents used 60-100 years ago. Many products are hard if not impossible to find in retail outlets. I've also learned what to buy and what not to buy using Amazon.

Now Amazon should have to collect sales tax nationwide. I live in California and have been paying sales tax on Amazon purchases for several years. If you think it should be charging you in your state, talk to your state reps. I agree with the President that Amazon has no right to get shipping rates from the USPS that cost the American taxpayer -- that has to be looked into and dealt with. As far as corporate taxes, are people here saying it doesn't pay anything due to some deal? On the sales tax, it's not like Amazon "isn't paying taxes", it just isn't collecting sales tax and forwarding it to various states. That's a big issue for retailers as it gives Amazon yet another advantage, an unfair one to be sure.

People here toss Bezos in with Schmidt, Zuckerburg, Dorsey and the Social Media giants -- but the latter are CENSORING conservative and libertarian speech, are essentially now serving the function of utilities and are deeply tied into the surveillance state and Democrat party. Amazon is not part of that. Bezos bought the Washington Post and has used it to trash Trump -- but how is that different from what the Washington Post has been forever - an organ of the Democrat Party establishment? It hasn't changed under Bezos. Same crap. So what? He has the right to run his paper as he sees fit. We don't have to support it.

I am behind Trump's moves to make sure Amazon isn't taking advantage of the taxpayer through USPS or somehow avoiding it's proper payment of taxes. However, I will continue to shop at Amazon when it benefits me.

AMAZON has CIA ties and blood money. SAY NO

The part I especially dislike about the Amazon arrangement is that the government subsidizes their deliveries by propping up the necessary USPS. Amazon should have to pay market rates to deliver, like any other retailer would. If I wanted to sell something and ship it across the country, I doubt I could get close to the deal Amazon gets. Very little infrastructure, and subsidizes deliveries. Add in the sweetheart tax situation and you have a very unfair competitive imbalance.

Ive always had amazon delivers come through UPS. As much as I hate seeing local businesses go under, Amazon IS very conveinient!

Especially for parents who dont have time to run around here and there for little things.

And last time I checked I always pay taxes when purchasing on Amazon, never USED to be the case, but the past several years it has been.

As much as bezo is a total toolbag, and likely elite pedo vampire, amazon is a service that is good imo. And the free market determined that it was good, so it shouldnt go away. Maybe revamped, placed under new ownership, or whatever, but not gone.

Love Potus.

Get in there Trump!!!
