Hello,
Amazon made almost $30 billion in profits over the course of the last decade.
But if you ask Amazon, they’ll tell you they’re barely making ends meet.
Or at least, that was their justification for paying a 12.7% effective tax rate -- just a little over a third of the 35% they should have been paying as a top corporate earner.
It’s a disgrace to see Big Tech companies hide their profits from the people whose backs they built their businesses on.
And it’s a disgrace to see the way they’re wielding their massive amounts of unchecked power -- with a 2020 study showing that Facebook sends its users to untrustworthy news websites over 15% of the time.
These modern-day robber barons shouldn’t get to hide from the IRS while hard-working Americans pay their taxes every day. And they shouldn’t get to have such a strong voice in our elections -- especially now that it’s clear their voice doesn’t have our best interests at heart.
It’s time for a change.
Thank you,
The WDTO Team
