Amazon.com - Amazon earnings continue to skyrocket because of liberty and freedom loving consumers

Amazon earnings came out today and the earnings analysis from all the major headlines say the same things, “Amazon earnings surge in 4th quarter” or “Amazon blasts pasts streets forecast”. There is a huge economic downturn yet Amazon continues to record tremendous amounts of growth. Why is that?

Amazon is totally crushing it’s opposition because it caters to liberty and freedom loving consumers.

Don’t believe that statement? Look at these 3 reasons why Amazon’s liberty and freedom loving consumers are head over heels for their services:

#1 - Amazon fights against the state.

*New York’s finest criminal*, former Governor Elliott Spitzer, went after Amazon and other internet companies by trying to pass a new law on sales tax collections. Amazon is still fighting this battle.
*(Some would argue that Rudi Guliani is much worse…)*

A new law requiring out-of-state Internet retailers to collect sales tax on Web purchases made in New York is unconstitutional and should be invalidated, according to a lawsuit filed by Amazon in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The new law violates the commerce clause of the Constitution by imposing tax-collection obligations on out-of-state entities, due process clauses by creating “an irrebuttable presumption of ’solicitation’ [that] is overly broad and vague,” and equal protection clauses by intentionally targeting Amazon, according to the suit.

Go get em’ Amazon! The parasite of government can go to sit on a spiked fence.

#2 - Amazon is endorsed by Lew Rockwell and other “anti-state, anti-war, free markets” advocates.

LewRockwell.com has over 450,000 visitors per month to its website. It ranks in the top 5,000 websites in the world. It has a loyal customer base that comes back daily. One of it’s biggest fans and advocates is former 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Ron Paul reads LewRockwell.com all the time. His new website, Campaignforliberty.com, is growing at a phenomenal rate.

Attach Ron Paul’s name to any service and product and it typically sells extremely well.

#3 - Amazon.com IS the free market.

According to a Huffington Post article, look at what goes on at Amazon’s warehouses:

“What goes on behind the scenes at a giant online retailer like Amazon.com?

A job posting for openings at Amazon.com’s largest “fulfillment center” in Coffeyville, Kansas offers a glimpse into the working lives of Amazon employees in charge of filling holiday orders at the online seller’s offline warehouses.

Hoping to find people to help with the rush of holiday shopping, Amazon posted an add to to Express soliciting people to “come work the holiday season with Amazon.com at their largest fulfillment center” and noting that every year, Amazon.com “searches for over 1,000 smart, friendly and dedicated people with a strong work ethic.”

The listing details several other qualifications for potential employees.

The post specifies that people involved in “Picking/Order Selection” are required to “stand on feet for 8-10 hours,” and “walk 10-15 miles a day.”

To do shipping, potential employees “must be able to stand on feet for 8-10 hours.” And workers in ‘receiving’ are required to “stand fairly stationary throughout shift for 8-10 hours,” while they also have to “lift, bend, stoop and squat repetitively.”

The pay starts at $10.50 an hour for day shifts, and $11 an hour for nights.”

HuffingtonPost would have you believe that working at Amazon is a bad thing. The fact is there are THOUSANDS of hardworking Americans who LOVE hard work. They’re also happy to work for an employer that works for the free market.

Amazon will continue to succeed.

Amazon is based upon the principles of hard work, free markets and constitutional principles. Their products are phenomenal. They’re distribution network is extremely efficient. Amazon is exactly what consumers want, when they want it. Their earnings reports continue to show it. The proof is in the pudding.
