Two things: (1) Corporations like Amazon (well, maybe not Amazon, but rather Big Oil, Big Electronics & other multinationals) lobbied politicians in order to get these loopholes (or leave them open).
I get your point, but you're mistaken - there's no dichotomy between politics and big business. I thought everybody knew that by now. Amazon isn't merely playing the cards it's been dealt, it stacked the deck, dealt the cards and now claims to be "merely playing by the rules". I have to call BS on that one.
(2) I do not believe that complaining here is going to change anything. I'm not that naive. I just like to discuss stuff.
