Amazon 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?
Everyone tries to pay as little tax as they can. Big companies are just better at it because they can afford lawyers and financial controllers who know all the laws and how to avoid paying certain taxes. That’s all your link says - Amazon know how to avoid paying taxes based on tax laws.
You know the solution? Fix the tax laws. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Manipulating legislative procedure to the benefit of a few dozen people that provide the means of destruction of human civilization to th detriment of humanity at large, is pretty close to crystaline evil imo.
