As a world citizen, I consider it a point of honor for Amazon to respect the taxation structure of the country of the customers they happen to be serving.
As an American, I find it incredibly tedious when corporate libertarians confuse the advocacy of extreme political views (such as scenarios in which the government gets too little to provide infrastructure and social services) for the one acceptable expression of American patriotism. Martin Luther King, American and self-professed socialist, would have disagreed.
This isn't about politics. It's about the exclusion of fellow citizens whenever their opinions on government don't line up with one's own.
