Believe me, I owned my own business so do I want to limit the income a person that takes all the risks? no.
But I know I paid my staff more than $15 per hour. Amazon (a couple of years ago--not sure where they stand now) apparently had many people on staff the qualified for food stamps because their wages were so low. It was not that Amazon did not have enough profits to pay a living wage. They have used the cheap labor market that is a result of so much illegal immigration.
Thanks for clarifying, and yes, this is a wide issue that doesn't really have a short one-liner answer.
The thing is when you are comparing amazon to microsoft in this way, it's actually fogging the issues which have crossover between the companies but are distinct in how they act generally, to their employers, and to their clientele.

I think government (once again) has failed in protecting the public because of a conflict of interests.
