Am I to believe Bezos and his investors will simply take the hit of paying taxes, or will that expense get passed to consumers?

Smaller companies pay their taxes and set their prices at a level where they can afford that. If Amazon are forced to compete fairly on efficiency/quality/... rather than on tax avoidance, that's a good thing for customers in the long run (and of course collecting tax to be spent on public services is good for citizens immediately).
That makes sense, thank you.
