I need to end this typo'd quote chain by responding to you EndlessSky. Amazon is in compliance with tax law, but in my personal opinion it is unethical that an ultra millionaire business such as Amazon is able to "tax credit" all of its revenue into paying 0 federal taxes by simply reinvesting in itself. Why doesn't everyone in the United States simply tax credit away all of their federal and state income taxes? What money will the government be able to budget outside of sales taxes and property taxes?


The government doesn't need to budget our money, it should just stop spending.

The conspiracy theory that vast swaths of evil rich people are out to con women requires more proof than the converse believe it or not.

the modus operandi of the American government has been to spend endlessly. in addition they've given the largest federal tax rebates to ultra millionaires such as Amazon, banks, people who own massive amounts of land or real estate, etc

in the real estate sector, UHNW(ultra high net worth) individuals are particularly relevant, with the total UHNW population's real estate holdings accounting for over US$5 trillion, or 3% of the world's real estate holdings. This is a huge proportion considering this population is only 0.003% of the world's population

next on the agenda is the budgeting that is actually done with the American governments federal taxes, over half of it is on military expenses :rolleyes: the United States spends more money on military than China, Saudi Arabia, India, France, Russia, Germany, and the United Kingdom combined... and all those countries military budgets would still need to spend another $40 billion dollars just to be up to par with the United States

Military budget is 20% and its the only one that shouldn't be cut.

Why? Most people's IQ isn't high enough to warrant additional education. They should be cutting kids out of public schools and putting them into trade schools as it is.
