    Corporations don't pay taxes. Their customers do.

    Any business that is anti-union "exploits" their workers?

    Corporations cannot pass all taxes to consumers and do pay taxes. But I know what point you're making.

    Im not champion of amazon, I think their warehouse workers are underpaid and made to work under lousy conditions but this isnt a warehouse, these are desks.
    That may be true but whether you are a warehouse or desk worker, they have a right to organize if they so choose. Being anti-union in NYC regardless of the type of jobs being created will not sit too well with the unions and most politicians. Walmart by the way, ranks up there with the JP Stevens Company who probably had the worst anti-union record in this country.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Do they also reserve the right to be anti-union without some considering that being "exploited?"

    Worst anti-union record = figured out unions are the ones exploiting the employees.
