I'm not sure why some around this forum love to hate Amazon. I doubt there is a major company within the USA that is worthy of our love. Some are worse than others. Take Walmart for example. Hardly any company did more to kill off "mom and pop" shops in small towns across the country. But I would never say they did it on purpose. Just good business sense to buy in bulk and sell cheaper than everyone else. I feel sorry for the mom and pop shops, but I'm not so sorry that I will pay them twice what it would cost in Walmart, Amazon, etc. And I suspect returning items to mom and pop shops won't be nearly as easy either.

I'm glad Amazon turned down the tax incentives. Doubt there was anything nefarious involved except on the part of some of the posters here. You guys are broken records and need to mellow out a bit! I would much rather see my tax money go to draw in jobs and revenue than to pay for some billionaire a$$hole's sports stadium like we have done in my city. The Dallas Cowboys stadium doesn't even have our city name on it, nor are they called the Arlington Cowboys, but we GD sure built that stadium for that billionaire a$$hole Jerry Jones. And BTW, that stadium was supposed to bring in a lot of local revenue, but it hasn't. It has only made a billionaire richer! It hasn't even lead to a winning team yet...
