Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age'
derAbsender@piefed.social 1 day agoAmazon in the past was often able to overcome threats from state governments by cutting ties with local partners or leaving the state in question. Amazon severed its relationships with affiliates in Colorado due to efforts by the state government to collect sales tax on internet purchases. Amazon has threatened similar action against affiliates in Illinois over the same issue.[47] In February 2011, Amazon announced that it would be closing its Dallas, Texas, distribution center over the sales-tax dispute[145]

That’s got nothing to do with billionaires though. Are you suggesting that businesses that don’t have a billionaire founder never have and can’t do things like that?
