Please explain how Amazon has gamed the system, or how Bezos being rich is incompatible with Amazon paying little in tax because it reinvests almost all profits.
Amazon was one of the original “disrupters”, taking out regular retail by not charging sales tax for the first decade of its existence. One might argue this gave them an unfair advantage over conventional retail, allowing them to gain a foothold faster than they might have otherwise.
Anecdotally, I absolutely and conscientiously used Amazon as a way to avoid paying sales tax when I was younger and less financially stable.
