Re: On the breadline then Bezos?

This is always what happens when Corporations are taxes, Amazon passes this on to the sellers, they pass it on to their customers in higher prices, when someone else, i.e. Amazon, can sell the product at a higher price, then the small business closes and all their employee become unemployed and must depend on government programs that require more taxes. It is the vicious cycle of taxation.

Many of the sheep on the left do not understand this, but the leadership do. Continuously raising taxes is a way to crush the capitalist system.

Are sellers, based in the UK not paying sales tax? not paying the VAT? Here in the US, no matter what seller I buy from on Amazon they collect my local sales tax. Is this not the case in the UK? SO what taxes is the UK and the EU claiming they are not getting. Or is this just a money grab from the richest corporations in the world?
