Bezos owns the WP and he's far more wealthy than Trump and his ego can't take it.

I don't really know, either. Part of it might be a desire to help the small businesses hurt by Amazon, part of it might be a revenue grab, and it wouldn't even shock me if part of it was jealousy over Bezos being a more successful business man.

Actual answer - commercial developers are putting pressure on him because their income is dwindling year on year due to the decline of brick and mortar shops.

Because Jeff Bezos (some nerd slacker! Sad!) made more money than he could have ever dreamed of. It knocks him out of his egotistic fantasy.

You're right. He's probably not really a billionaire.

Amazon definitely charges sales tax. Do they not turn it over or something? I was under the impression it was a state by state basis, like states that don't have sales tax don't get taxed.


I think it was based on something else. I'm in Nebraska and never had to pay taxes on my Amazon orders until last year, and we've always had sales taxes.

That doesn't change the fact that Walmart had a bigger role in destroying smaller Ma and Pa stores than amazon. In fact an argument can be made that amazon actually helps smaller businesses by reaching clients from far away, increasing their customer base.

Yeah Amazon helps small businesses by being a marketplace for them to sell their stuff, to people much further away then before. This is just Admiral lying to defend his crush Donald Trump.

Even if they didn't, why would Trump go after Amazon for not paying taxes? He said that finding legal ways to get out of paying your taxes makes you smart, so it's pretty weird that he'd base his gripe on Amazon on just that.
