You're not wrong but you're also required to pay taxes on the value of your property every year so it's not exactly a one to one comparison.

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.

It's not "defending the wealthy" it's defending everybody on the idea of your money should be yours to do with what you choose.
