Boo Amazon. They are known for exploiting their workers and were sued for shorting on overtime hours. It's great that they support same-sex marriage, but they need to clean up their own business.

Amazon still profits off of those sales. Trust me, I sell things on Amazon. Amazon takes a cut of every sale.

Ah well believe me I can go straight to the source once I figure out who I want to buy it from. Makes it much easier on me and them. No reason to give these idiots money. Companies that want to interject politics into business should be taxed harder just like religious institutions should.

no it doesnt matter where the donate their money. because its THEIR MONEY. granted they get it from me, and other customers, but i am buying a product or service from them. and since i dont own any part of amazon, or chick-fil-a, i dont care what they do with THEIR money after they get it from me. if they want to donate to pro or anti gay causes, thats their business, not mine. if they want to contribute to some group wanting to renew the nazi regime, so what? again that is their business not mine.

I have always wondered why the same lefties who always rag on Wal-Mart leave Amazon alone.
