To date, Amazon has donated a total of:

Yep. I donate to a small local charity through Smile.


Good to know Amazon has such social resposibilities. Apart from paying tax
in the country it makes profits in, of course.

It really says it all when some think it's perfectly OK to make a fortune
out of sales to a country, but not contribute towards its running costs.
Meaning the rest of us who do have to pay that much more.

But then even kindergarten economics are beyond the grasp of the likes of
Richard.

I am not at all happy that multinationals don't pay their taxes. Your
response was directed at Amazon, who in their own pathetic (but not as
pathetic as you) way contribute something.
