    Yo, I’m sorry but you just don’t understand anything you’re talking about.

    This is talking about Mississippi state taxes, not federal. Mississippi can’t determine whether Amazon pays federal taxes.

    And you’re comparing the federal taxes on a few employees in just one state to the global profit of Amazon.

    It’s not even comparing apples and oranges, it’s more like apples and tilapia.
