No, the mentality today is that corporations making billions off resources provided by the public should contribute to the system that allowed them to make billions. Amazon not paying taxes/getting tax refunds is a travesty.

The difficult line--at least to me--is between big business, which is continuing to blow apart the income gap and have too much political influence, and small business, which can/is being destroyed by the system.

(For the record, my major concern here--as a teacher--is wealth inequality which, if the system continues, will mean only the affluent having access to opportunities for improvement/education, etc.)
