"lawmaker claimed that it and other large corporations 'exploit loopholes"
Loopholes that said 'lawmakers' left in the tax legislation either by accident (incompetent) or by design (corrupt).
Just change the laws to close the loopholes but don't ask people to pay more than YOUR laws expect them to.
Amazon and its "army of lawyers and lobbyists" have zero votes.
Not of their own but how many have they bought?
Thanks to Citizens United and other crap, corporations can effectively buy laws and lawmakers. Tax cuts for rich individuals had about 35% support among citizens. So why did it pass in a "democracy"?
