    I think its great that Amazon invests so much in its employees even if by doing so it avoids paying taxes commensurate with turnover.

    Jeff Bezos, the worlds richest person, and main beneficiary thinks its great too!

    All the while, the ordinary Employee has to pay a much higher level of tax on their income to compensate for the mega rich that manage to avoid doing so because of the many loopholes.

    Said Employee might once have had the chance of a decent job, but now has to work in a relatively low paid, low skill role because of outsourcing, virtual monopolies, market fixing and governments that couldn't give a flying f... about ordinary people.


    But never mind, as long as we can all sit at home, order online and have some Chinese/Indian manufactured device, made by under-paid workers, delivered to our door the next day.
