Is Amazon running for president?

no, not yet at least

But it is a monopoly that has helped to destroy small businesses. Look at bookstores. What's left? B&N - for now- which has a strong online presence

So I don't understand your thinking. I hate Hillary as much as I hate Trump. However, with regard to business, Trump will represent the very loopholes that allow monopolies to flourish.

So this tit for tat response is just hot air and faulty logic.

Or perhaps it's an ironic response???

The capitalistic business man gets to enjoy favorable business environment(carry over of losses from previous years, lower taxes, various deductions, tax breaks etc) as a reward for his enterprise and risk. The society also provides service with security for the business(cops, fire service, etc), infrastructure(roads, Utility, Internet etc), Talent pool(colleges that creates a talent base) and other social benefits.

In return the business person pays taxes to support the society, if not at the beginning of the business few years afterwards in return for all the rewards provided as explained above. THIS IS THE TRUST THE SOCIETY gives to the entrepreneurs hoping they wont betray their trust. Another aspect of this is charity for the society at large for various causes.

In Trump's case it is obvious that he doesn't pay taxes BUT atleast he can pay to charity. BUT He hasn't given much to charity either. This makes TRUMP A LEECH who betrays the very principles of capitalism and trust of the society. The core idea of capitalism is to make it easy to create value from an idea which becomes a business to serve its customers. To make a successful entrepreneur there is so much sacrifice that the country, state and local community does. But Uncivilized, Uncouth, Unprincipled Leeches like trump get rich on the back of the common man BUT NEVER GIVES BACK. That is such a shame! It is even worse that such a shameful man is admired by the very community he has been sucking from.

This last line is really the main thing. All of the rust belt tax-paying residents have bought the Trump sham to a tee, and yet his policies will not help them. Ironic that the Democrats tax reform platform is more favorable to the middle class and working poor.

And he is NOT going to fix the tax code so that people like him pay more. Quite the opposite. He wants to "fix" things like the estate tax. Does that benefit the middle class?

TRUMP HIRED HIS ACCOUNTANT TO HELP EVADE TAXES!! I am pretty sure he is aware of how to pay few or no taxes. I believe he told millions of viewers last Monday. His "fix" for the estate tax isn't going to benefit his core voters, only top 1%. His voters don't even need to worry about estate tax because they are not even worth the amount he plans to CUT. Look at demographics of the states Trump is leading, Ohio! Honestly, although I embrace every US citizen's right to vote, I often question the critical thinking skills of some voters.
