These sort of red carpets go far beyond taxation.

Things like some executives wife gets pulled over drunk and the police give her a ride home and a warning. The son gets caught holding and the case disappears. Homeless people in their neighborhood get told to move along to your neighborhood. That sort of thing.



That's basic inequality. Amazon execs will remain rich regardless of whether Amazon has a higher city tax bill.


> That's basic inequality.

It isn't. Beat cops probably aren't going to take your bribe, you have to pre-bribe the community like Amazon has so you are "too big to fail" in a sense. It's like the company town of old but built with public dollars.
