People love how cheaply and efficiently Jeff Bezos sells and delivers product to their door. So much so that his net worth, as the founder and chief executive of Amazon, is about $US30 billion ($34 billion).

Yet Bezos concerns himself with how much time his employees spend going to the toilet. The workers in his many warehouses, known as pickers, are constantly monitored.

Bezos is a tax avoider. In Australia, Amazon may deliver goods cheaply and quickly, which is a significant good for consumers, but the company pays little tax on the hundreds of millions of turnover it has in Australia, while undermining local businesses small and large. Amazon prefers to leave tax paying to its customers.
