Amazon projected to pay 0 federal income tax, second year in a row

:thinking_face:

Very controversial libertarian thought, but not necessarily a dystopian one. Are you talking about income tax in general or just federal one? (Not sure we can do much with federal one)

But we def can do something with local taxes. Shifting some of the "governmental" responsibilities and distributions (police, fire dept, DMV offices, schools, etc etc) to a more efficient private entities (entities that can be laid off when not performing) might give local communities a huge boost. This might trigger a great backlash from UBI proponents though, since most of the government jobs are basically some versions if the UBI (you get you paycheck only for showing up kind of thing).

IMHO, companies should operate in one of two modes... either paying shareholders any profit (zeroing out) or growing/expanding (zeroing out) and wouldn't pay taxes in either mode. I'm fine with either.
