![]() It’s not a separate issue at all. The government now has a colossal revenue problem. If you want to say it’s fair for an internet startup to not pay taxes while their building, that’s fine, but for a company that made $10B in profit to contribute $0 in corporate taxes at a time when the government has an acute revenue problem is insane. Basically, what you’re saying is that the government should accept entrepreneurship as an unfunded liability against public interests and social safety nets (ok) AND that even after entrepreneurs are successful we still shouldn’t expect any sort of remuneration for that risk.
And, as you noted, Amazon is also living high off the teet of corporate welfare from local governments such as in Washington and Seattle, as well. At what point do big, successful corporations have to pay into the social good as responsible corporate citizens who recognize that nothing they accomplish in business could’ve happened without the collective investments provided to them on the front end and ongoing utilization on the infrastructure for commerce that governments are responsible for maintaining?

That evening was very sad as a young life was lost. But just like many other times far too many people refuse to cross a street where they would have a better chance of making it across safely. There was an intersection just a short distance away with a traffic signal which they chose to ignore and paid a price. And who cares about the grammar police. Over the years I authored thousands of reports and had them check and approved. This is a MB so who really cares about the grammar as long as the point gets across.

Having to fork out $50 to get a TV back may not seem so big to many here, but for the area that I work it was like asking the victim to hand over thousands of dollars. Anytime I could help the disadvantage made my day worthwhile. My other times there I was walking the halls seeking support for a statewide computer system that would allow agencies to share pawn transaction. This system has been a huge success.

I would also like to note here that SS is (theoretically) a separate fund from the rest of the government, unlike infrastructure. Not sure about Medicare. Quote:

As I've explained prior, they (as well as other shippers and retailers) are paying infrastructure maintenance taxes in the forms of fuel taxes, port fees, docking fees, etc. Maybe they are insufficient, I don't know. I'm not an indirect tax expert, I don't work on state budgets and I'm not in infrastructure. I've worked with DOTs a little bit in the past, so I'm familiar with their economics.

I tried to get FSS 539 changed for 4 years and every year the corporate pawnbrokers killed it. When they found out that the form was approved by the FSC they tried to file a complaint against me with the sheriff. He through them out of his office.
