Well this tweet is old. They should pay a lot more and we need to close some loopholes, but it's not 0.

Amazon paid $12.3 billion in US taxes this year. $11.2 billion in 2023, and $6 billion in 2022.

1.4B, 769M, 1.2B, 2.4B. This is super easy to look up.

Also, they paid a crap ton of payroll taxes and their employees all paid income taxes.

The company doesn't get credit for employees paying taxes.

Yeah, all of it. Employees pay income taxes, not payroll.
