Jeff Bezos = Lex Luthor?

Anti-trust laws HAVE to be enforced. Amazon is receiving tax breaks to destroy other businesses and put millions out of work. Bezos also owns a lot of media in this country though so it's a story that really doesn't get a lot of press. Amazon is really killing our economy. They're worse than Walmart. They don't have to charge sales tax. It's pretty ridiculous. They also treat their employees like absolute shit. Something really has to be done.

This article is very odd to me. I know quite a few people that work for Amazon here in Kentucky. The starting pay is 11.50 to 14.50 an hour, and that comes with medical, vision AND dental insurance. Immediately upon starting mind you. Plus they give you bonuses for coming every day you are supposed to. Of the people I know, while all of them say its hard work, none of them have mentioned anything like what salon is reporting.

 

Also, Amazon customer service is one of the best I've personally encountered.

Interesting, I still think that Amazon's effect on so many other businesses is cause to break them up into many many companies. Small business in most cases cannot compete and Amazon is willing to take losses to make sure of that. I mean, they don't even have to charge sales tax which is a massive advantage over their competition.
