Incidentally, should we really count "income taxes" as something "Amazon pays"? Amazon doesn't pay income taxes. Amazon employees do. The fact that Amazon conducts the transaction via withholding seems irrelevant. It's the employee losing the money.

You are confusing income taxes paid by employees with the corporate income tax paid by companies:

i generally think they should be counted to the company as a sales tax. amazon is losing the money, because theyre paying it to the government and not the employee, ao they need to increase the pay accordingly if they want the employee to have a certain amount.
