Amazon's Ethics

A clear indicator of Amazon's ethics will show in the criteria is uses for selecting a city for it's new "second headquarters". Will Jeff Bezos demand massive tax breaks to enrich himself and other shareholders or will he demand commitments to build schools and infrastructure? Keep in mind, Amazon has grown on the back of a massive sales tax break.

We all should hold Amazon to account to break the race to the bottom with tax breaks that typically destroy more of a community than they build. Wisconsin is giving Foxconn tax breaks estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per $15/hr. job. It's time to really stand against this failed ideology of the Reagan era.
