This is how fucked we are: it was reported this week that in 2017, Amazon made $5.6 billion dollars in profit and paid zero in federal taxes and it barely elicited a yawn.
For fuck's sake, I made less than $40,000 and I paid federal taxes last year and yet Amazon couldn't pay one goddamned dime on $5.6 billion? What's the matter with this picture?
This state of affairs benefits no one other than the powers that be at Amazon--it's not like they lowered prices for their customers in light of this windfall, or gave big raises to the thousands of their warehouse workers that are paid shit wages.
We really need a wake up call--or one day we're going to wake up and realize that all that is left in America is a handful of rich folks and the rest of us poor folks.
Fuck Donald Trump,
