Jeff leverages trillions in infrastructure, the maintenance of which costs billions. Taxpayers subsidize that. You aru not being genuine with your words, but this I will clear up.

That's what countries and governments are for: people and companies pay taxes so other people and taxes count use the infrastructure.

Amazon pays quite a lot of taxes, directly and indirectly. It creates jobs, improves infrastructure etc.

Anyway, that's offtopic: whether Jess should be in jail because he violated the law and whether someone should pay more taxes are completely different topics.

Like I said, you are not being genuine with your arguments. What you're saying is technically true but not a productive viewpoint. That's why I don't want to address your stuff. Suffice it to say that Bezos doesn't pay his company's offset in taxes.
