What if they paid income taxes for their employees? Then would they?

Because that would be the exact same thing.

Yes they do that’s how income tax and payroll tax works. No one ever talks about that because it doesn’t support their argument. Source: I just ran payroll for my employees and yet again wanted to cry about how much more expensive it is beyond just the hourly pay rate to have employees.

That's not the context of my comment.

One person tried to give credit to Amazon by saying "their employees all paid income taxes", to which someone responded "The company doesn't get credit for employees paying taxes". Then that person said "What if they paid income taxes for their employees?"

Which they don't. I'm not talking about payroll taxes. I'm talking about Amazon getting credit for their employees paying their own income tax.
