If you paid $12.99 a month for an Amazon Prime membership, you paid more to Amazon than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years combined—after making nearly $30 billion in profits. Yes. It's time to make corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

taxing 30B in profits wouldn't do much. finding a way to force corps to represent profit as such and not hide it as re-invested revenue, that might do something. But taxing 10B/yr at, what, 5-10% in practice? In federal coffers money that's hardly distinguishable from 5 bucks
