Amazon Paid No Federal Taxes

[flowerseverywhere]

I’m sure a change in tax law will not arise from the poor and middle class entreating their fully lobbied representatives for relief...as corporate America well knows. Legality being determined simply by the letter of the lawyers.....morality by the heart. No, I am sure that relief will be found by the same method relief was demanded under the banner of “no taxation without representation!” What the capitalist oligarchs seem to dismiss is that those with nothing, have nothing to lose. They believe that rich and poor are somehow “divinely created” where some founding fathers , namely Thomas Paine would say rich and poor are simply arbitrary divisions. We haven’t come very far in well over two centuries.

plus the list of the wealthy includes almost all white men. Interesting.

Again, Thomas Paine observed the same :

”If we take a survey of ages and of countries, we shall find the women, almost—without exception—at all times and in all places, adored and oppressed. Man, who has never neglected an opportunity of exerting his power, in paying homage to their beauty, has always availed himself of their weakness. He has been at once their tyrant and their slave.”
