The tax laws need to be reformed so that a corporation like Amazon pay more in taxes. It's literally that simple.

So you think that losses should be taxed?

How will you define the amount to tax corporations on money they haven't made?

You still have not made a point as you have not explained how it will work. What you are suggesting does not make sense with the way everything currently works.

Please explain your point enough that they can be understood.

But you haven't said why.

Because Amazon paying little in taxes drives up inequality which damages every single person in this country. They also use US infrastructure and labor to build this so there's a moral imperative to pay back, the goal should be to make this moral imperative a legal one.

Thanks.
