It's not the governments job to "help" us people. Read and understand the Constitution. If you truly are "poor" you don't pay Fed taxes anyway. The rest of us pay your way. If you don't like being poor, you can work harder to get a better job, or take a second job, learn a skill that is in demand or move to a location that has more opportunities. In case you don't know it, a corporation is made up of people; share holders and employees.
Again, Amazon is working within our current tax system to reduce their Federal tax burden. The same way the rest of us do. Do you refuse to take a tax break or a tax write-off when you fill out your tax "return"? Of course not, that would be stupid, So why shouldn't a corporation take advantage of saving as much of THEIR money as they legally can?
Its the social securty system and medicare thats at fault, not the boomers.
And out of the mouths of babes......comes ignorance and stupidity.
You mean like our president?
If I am correct, and I am, the baby boomers paid into SS their entire lives. Not voluntarily I might add. Then, the vast majority either die at retirement age or shortly afterwards, never collecting even what they paid in. Sure, some collect into their 90’s, but that’s not average. The govt has used the SS funds and mismanaged them, aka stolen.
I absolutely agree with that, though not for the same reasons that you do. Our current tax system is far too complex for one thing. Not to mention taxes are way too high. When I worked in Russia they had a simple 15% income tax, and the tax form was one page long. In the US my tax "return" is 50-65 pages long.
