Billionaire train keep a rollin'... how's things going for you?

I was reading where Jeff Bezos' Amazon paid zero federal tax last year and claimed a $129 million tax refund for its troubles...

Nice work if you can get it!

But I'm guessing you can't. Hell, I can't even figure out how to get to paying zero taxes; forget about that refund!

Elsewhere on Planet Jeff I see where the much ballyhooed Amazon HQ2 that sparked a real estate speculation frenzy in Queens has been pulled. Seems the local graffiti crowd was having way too much fun at Jeff's expense.

Trillion-dollar-valued Amazon pays $0 in income taxes for 2018, gets multi-million refund

That's not a biggie for Bezos. He can just dial up the old all-against-all sweepstakes again and go for a second round of having desperate cities outbid each other to bribe his trillion-dollar non-tax-paying behemoth to favour THEIR town with the new HQ2.

That means Toronto still has a chance!
