There is no better way to make a case to the people that taxation is theft, than to give out a bonus
Almost a trillion dollar company and will only pay $500 while dodging millions in taxes

Amazon giving $500 million in one-time bonuses to front-line workers as a 'thank you'Amazon is giving out more than $500 million as a 'Thank You bonus' to front-line workers who were with the company throughout the month of June, a move that comes after the e-commerce giant eliminated a $2 hourly wage bump and double overtime pay for frontline workers at the end of May. 840,000 employees in the US for what I've been able to Google. That's nearly $600 bonus es h for June. That's a nice and solid amount of money. It's two months of my budget (if I don't count taxes). I’ve been purposely seeking out any other service rather than use amazon just because I didn’t think they were doing enough for their front line employees. perhaps i could turn the corner on this one... Amazon: eliminate a 2 dollar raise and double time pay Also amazon(One month later): now that we’ve made a extra Trillin bucks give all the full time employees a one time, $500 “bonus” Also amazon: yes, i know they would’ve each made that in a day with double time pay.
