You know what else comes out of the pocket of the consumer? Paying for government assistance for people employed full time by a company.

>more than 4,000 employees are on food stamps in nine states studied by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Only Walmart, McDonald’s and two dollar-store chains have more workers requiring such assistance, according to the report, which said 70% of recipients work full-time.

In other words, Amazon is costing you, the taxpayer, money by not paying their workers a living wage.
