You are correct. Tax law must change to prevent situational like this from happening. Unfortunately, people like Bezos have a disproportionate amount of political influence and can shape the direction of tax law in his favor far more easily than your average American voter. This is a fact.
But what really chaps my ass is this comment: "People shouldn't work fo[r] amazon if they have issues[ s ] with wage or working conditions."
That's bullshit. I don't have time to really get into this, but this is what's happening: Amazon specifically goes to communities with low tax rates and low paid workers so that they can pay less for labor than they would have to in places with more diverse economies, for instance. In a town like mine, small businesses have been decimated over the years by companies like Wal-Mart and Amazon, and if you're an unskilled laborer, you don't have much of a choice but to work for one of those big companies if you want to support your family.
The logic of people who say what you've said is that there is a diversity of available jobs in any given community and that workers have the ability to just go choose where they'd like to go. But even if they do, it's often trading one kind of evil for another, and so it's often in their interest to stay in their initial bad situation because at least then you're holding on to whatever vacation or seniority or whatever you've accrued. But that's just a pittance. Even IF you manage to swing from one shit job with health insurance to another with health insurance, many employers require that you've been on staff for six months before they'll offer coverage, so, again, if you have a family it's a hard decision to go without that for half a year. Around here if you can't work in a hospital or university but need to support a family, you have no choice but to go work for Amazon, Wal-Mart, DIRECTV, or at some shitty retailer at the mall. None of these are career track positions, and none treat their employees particularly well.
And "it's his money" deliberately ignores so much about how that money is gotten. Exploiting tax loopholes while technically following the letter of the law (which is designed to filter as much money as possible upward toward people like Bezos) is such a shit excuse. It's cancerous opportunism, and just because it's technically legal doesn't mean it's right, and people are right to be incensed when faced with this kind of information.
