"The likes of Amazon do make a profit"

Not a taxable one.

"otherwise how else can they stay in business?"

Because they're reinvesting the profits year after year. And our tax system is deliberately designed to encourage them to do that. The idea that they're screwing the honest worker by finagling the system in some way to avoid paying their fair share is an old antisemitic conspiracy theory with a thin layer of makeup smeared on it.
