A lot more tax money goes to non-military parts of the government[0], like welfare and education. I'm not happy that Amazon doesn't pay its fair share.
Seems bizarre to only think taxes go into the Military Industrial Complex. I mean, sure they take their cut--but I'd like to think that our taxes go towards maintaining our civil society as well!
Edit: Seems very much cutting off your nose to spite your face, if one is 'happy' a corporation isn't paying taxes
Justice ≈ Fairness - contested, but developed world's post-war political-economies are based upon this either explicitly or implicitly. A lately weakened norm (post-Thatcher/Reagan) that Amazon and others are breaking further.
Amazon can't escape paying Medicare and Social Security taxes. So, they are definitely paying into that, along with everyone else who pays payroll taxes.
So, if you exclude those two things from the budget [0], you'll see that military expenses and interest on debt greatly outweigh education and NASA and etc.
Now I personally think Amazon is a great source of good in this world, compared to Lockheed Martin or Halliburton [1]. So if those guys aren't paying anything in taxes, I am biased, they should be paying more, not Amazon.
