Companies are in business to sell products that people want to buy and to earn profits for shareholders. They are under no obligation to give their money away to anyone. Amazon’s community should be grateful for their contributions to corporate and property taxes, and for the thousands of jobs they provide.

If individuals from the company want to give their money away, fine, but the company itself should be focused on the bottom line, that’s why it exists.
