Trillion-dollar-valued Amazon pays $0 in income taxes for 2018, gets multi-million refund

Damn. So many homeless, poor, sick, and hungry and Dr Blasio wanted to give Amazon the keys to the city. What a punk.

Trillion-dollar-valued Amazon pays $0 in income taxes for 2018, gets multi-million refund

Trillion-dollar-company Amazon skated through 2018's tax filings without paying a cent for the second year in a row. The e-commerce behemoth, which made $11 billion last year, will pay no taxes at all, thanks to 2017's tax reform.

The metaphor of the boiling frog will be taken as an insult to French mentality.
