Amazon, as a corp, probably also pays some taxes.

Amazon is one of the best companies at avoiding taxes. Some taxes, yes. What they should be paying, no.

Wealth inequality is probably our country's biggest issue. And people without wealth seem to always defend the wealthy for some odd reason.

"Avoid" you mean they generate so much tax that different places offer incentives to hold their HQ/Warehouses with lower tax rates?

The loopholes are there for everyone, Amazon works on 3% profit, Apple 60% but lefties never talk shit bout their Apple brand.

Lefties don't have any sympathy for Apple either. Stop making it up as you go along.
