Many Amazon Warehouse Workers are on Food Stamps

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I'm here arguing for free markets.

Could have fooled me with your shilling for a company that is wiping out competition in some sectors. This while they are making every effort to push legislation that would subject businesses to tax audits from 9600 US tax jurisdictions. Of course Amazon is selling it to government that no problem they would offer every business in the country tax services to manage it. Effectively one of the few companies that can do so due to their size.

"Shilling"? Not sure there is any shilling going on in this thread, exactly.

When the government becomes this large and offers a welfare state to it's citizens, you can't expect companies operating in a rational manner to not take advantage of those policies. This is the environment they operate in and the truth is if they don't do it, their competitors will and they will go out of business.

Sure, it's immoral. But the immorality of stealing money from your citizens to fund a welfare state and to redistribute wealth is an immorality of much greater significance. It is what allows and outright encourages companies like Amazon to do what they do.

I'm as suspicious of Amazon as any. They're doing their best to monopolize my industry.

Amazon is not alone in it's abuse of our nanny state. And the problem extends far beyond the pay that is offered to employees.

The problem is the type of argument happening in this thread is what leads to a bigger welfare state. These are the same arguments that are used to argue for a greater minimum wage, and more wealth redistribution.

Again, pointing out their immorality is by no means advocating growing the welfare state and does not make one a "leftist" or whatever "fucking" her words she comes up with. Bashing the employees and those that point out Amazon's immorality is certainly giving cover and shilling for them.

They are a threat to my individual liberty as much as government in their tactics to eliminate competition and subject me to authoritarian tax policy which will certainly be used as a tool by the far left against businesses.
