“Global” eh? How is it that this follows a “global pandemic”? Just a coincidence I’m sure.
Amazon paid 0 federal taxes last year.
Been doing a great job of fending off unions too.
Win Win.
Remember when they almost opened a HQ in NY?
I don’t hear D leadership calling them out.
Easy to capture that revenue on goods.
Need to get more creative on electronic services.
What needs to happen is that that shifting doesn’t matter…so you use tariffs and import fees and encourage other nations to do the same.
Corporate, ■■■■ yeah!
VAT, ■■■■ yeah!
Consumption-based, ■■■■ yeah!
Property, ■■■■ yeah!
Income-based, ■■■■ yeah!
Wealth! ■■■■ yeah, ■■■■ yeah…
That is easily the catchiest song ever written…

What?
Were you completely absent during the Amazon headquarters discussion on these boards?
Pretty much every major union in America supported Biden in 2020.
AOC chased them away.
I remember.
Amazon is good at manipulation of D leadership. They take their infrastructure to red states and blow smoke at woke states.
Leadership…the same leadership that can’t crack the richest prize in the land.
No seat for the union at the Amazon table…maybe Alabama…
That isn’t what happened.
The NYC Economic Development Corporation had more to do with than AOC.
The funny thing is that Amazon is still expanding into NYC but without all the sweet sweet goodies.
Seems like AOC was right.

This isn’t about hoods, this is about shifting profits into a tax shelter to avoid taxation.
I don’t see how tariffs would fix that.
I would call no taxes and no union a sweet set of goodies.
What do you call them?
Walmart never got the union love and now Amazon blew past them.
The tax is collected before the shift.
Idiocy that doesn’t understand how countries work.

I am talking about the much vaunted Amazon NYC kerfuffle.
You do know that the deal wasn’t that popular here… right?

Wait… what?
Are you sure?
Yes. The giveaway was way too large seeing as how Google had just done a multi Billion dollar expansion in Manhattan without the tax breaks.
Idiocy, simple word really. Nobody is going to give Janet her tax as much as you want without offshoring safety net. Maybe the EU would fall for it but I doubt it. Certainly nobody beyond that. We can’t even get states in the same country to do it, globally it’s DOA.

No wonder corporate leaders like D.
They are horrible at deal making.
Amazon and NYC democrats conspire to chase away tax revenue… unions…jobs.
