[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3442926, member: 1132"] Now I know you don’t understand how big business works. Why have one company when you can have four? Instead of having a business where you own everything and do everything, you have one business operating in a building leased by another business, which is being cleaned by another business and you have another business managing the financials of the other three. Now instead of getting the tax breaks of one business, you get the tax breaks of four businesses, but what’s left over is all yours. Pre-divorce, Jeff Bezos was making over $2,200 every SECOND. But do you know what his actual salary is? $81,840 per year. So if you looked at his individual tax returns you’d be shocked at how little it it. Just like Amazon having gross receipts of $13.9 billion last year, but paying a mere $162 million in taxes. Which itself is massive compared to the previous three years, where Amazon payed $ZERO dollars in federal taxes. BTW, Bezos owns dozens of businesses. You think their revenue streams never cross each other? And it’s 100% legal. Deferring and defraying tax obligations is not tax evasion. Now us little people don’t have to like it, but that’s how it works. I would actually be very shocked if the Trump family tax attorneys were malfeasant enough to allow the sitting President of the United States to flagrantly and openly violate U.S. tax laws. He’s a businessman with a degree in economics from Wharton and decades of experience, not a politician. [/QUOTE]
