Having trouble with the fact that they need to employ MANY tax consultants which is basically why many become and remain ultra wealthy.
Just.
Pay.
Fucken.
Tax.

Are you OK?
Do you also skip and jump and press wild flowers.

They employ many tax consultants because you have to do that when you're extremely wealthy. You're a ripe target, and it's not like the tax consultants are performing some kind of magic trick. Everything they're doing is legal, and yet *still* the rich contribute far more net tax revenue than anyone else. "Just pay fucken tax?" THEY DO, what are you talking about? They just aren't paying as much as your dictatorial decree would ask.
I agree amazon could pay better wages, but that's really not up to anyone but Bezos. He could close up shop right now and live out his life as a filthy rich bond villain, but instead he's employing hundreds of thousands of people. If entry level amazon jobs paid 40 bucks an hour, nobody would work anywhere else. If an amazon grunt wants a better job, there is a vast marketplace available. That's called the real world, and real life. It's not utopian, but nothing ever will be.
