So if you were wondering why Bezos was willing to sink $75 million into the melaina "I am eva braun" movie here is what $75 million get you
It saved Amazon 9 BILLION dollars this year alone
"Republicans’ tax cuts shaved billions off Amazon’s tax bill, new government filings show.
The company says it ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, and even as its profits jumped by 45 percent to nearly $90 billion."
Let that sink in: They Paid 1.2 billion ON 90 BILLION in profit THAT IS A TAX RATE of 1.3%
