>>tell me just how much your spiffy retailer amzn has contributed to the tax base if they haven't made a dime.
Amazon is at the top of the Internet food chain. Because of it and the likes of eBay, and Yahoo, and Ariba, and Commerce One, and VerticalNet, and HomeStore, and E*Trade the World Wide Web is exploding. This top tier of companies are the drivers. They are the reason people and companies get connected to the Web. They are the killer applications.
Amazon has 5,000 tax-paying employees. Ask UPS, or Visa, or Cisco, or JDS Uniphase, or Verisign whether Amazon is contributing anything. Ask the governors of Nevada, Washington, Delaware, etc. |
