And it used to be that we didn't pay taxes on our Amazon purchases but now we do. I'm not so sure that all these tax breaks given to big successful companies result in jobs. Amazon keeps laying people off. I suspect that they are one of those companies that look to hire immigrants who don't expect benefits and regular wage increases. I've heard of some companies firing their senior people just before they could collect their pensions so they wouldn't have to pay out. (and I'm not referring to the gov't). I know millions of years ago, a supermarket company I worked for used to keep a stable of part timers so they didn't have to pay the benefits that full time workers get.
