The President should not target a company because he has a grudge against its owner. That's what happens in a banana republic.

I got Dennis Prager’s “The Rational Bible” yesterday...the same day of release, via Amazon. I’m reading it right back to them now.

“Amazon’s stock sank on Thursday after the president tweeted that “they pay little or or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!””
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“JUST”...Amazon??????????????????????????????

We’ve been a banana republic for decades.

Let’s target the army of illegal aliens marching towards our border, and worry about Amazon later.

Using your "reporters" to conduct a 24/7/365 vendetta happens in a banana republic.

Zero & Lois Lerner would have slapped everyone of consequence at Amazon and the Washington Post with an IRS audit, and Zero would have wiretapped all of them with the NSA.

“The company also pays the sales tax in 45 states. “

More 21st century journalism-—— Amazon collects the sales tax,it doesn’t pay it.

He’s right! The USPS should not be giving subsidies to a company worth billions. The increased labor costs for USPS Sunday delivery alone probably offsets any additional revenue from Amazon.

Great and illuminating thread. Everyone loves the President until he threatens to make their lives a little less convenient for the greater good. “Amazon? Oh no, don’t criticize them. Thats where I buy all my cheap crap!!”

Good. These guys need to learn that they can’t purchase major media organs and turn them into partisan political weapons with impunity.

Democrats aren’t shy about doing it whenever they are in power (remember Lois Lerner?) This is the post-Alinsky age. There ARE NO RULES anymore.

We can regret and resent that, but it’s reality.

Amazon and Google and Facebook should all be broken up. They are effectively monopolies monopolizing political and cultural discourse.

Didn’t Trump brag during the primaries about how he doesn’t pay taxes?

looking for ways to target the monster e-commerce company.

Mr President, Sell the USPS to private investors. The real estate alone will bring in billions to balance the budget. Of course, exclude UPS, FEDEX, Amazon from buying the USPS. Also exclude DHL and any foreigner from buying it.

There will be plenty lining up to buy it.

Oh, and no subsidy to those who like the upside of where they choose to live but do not want to accept the downside of their choices.

This single move is the best Amazon play.
