Despite a record of avoiding taxes, harming small businesses, stifling competitors, and supporting animal absue, Amazon.com has somehow managed to avoid public scrutiny.
However, if you’re reading this, things are starting to change.
Amazon.com claims to be a “customer centric” company, yet their actions are “Amazon.com centric.”
- Amazon.com is more concerned about profits than animals, with a long history of selling books, magazines,and videos that glamorize dog fighting and other forms of animal abuse.
- Amazon.com fights their obligation to collect sales tax.
- Between 2004 and 2008, Amazon.com paid a 4.1% corporate income tax rate…which is far less than most Americans.
- Amazon.com manipulates their relationship with affiliates (many of whom are small business owners) for political gain.
- Amazon.com has tried to patent “one-click” checkouts and affiliate marketing in order to stifle healthy competition.
Read up on the issues we’ve laid out above. If you have an open mind, we’ll provide you with proof that Amazon.com is the online version of Wal-Mart – a big company that puts profits ahead of all else.
