I agree Amazon should pay taxes. But this bill is not the way to make such companies pay taxes. It will kill competition and startups along the way. That is the crux of the issue.
Edit: Looks like Amazon did indeed pay 15B+ federal taxes in 2024 (excluding sales tax etc)
You are confusing income taxes paid by employees with the corporate income tax paid by companies:

i generally think they should be counted to the company as a sales tax. amazon is losing the money, because theyre paying it to the government and not the employee, ao they need to increase the pay accordingly if they want the employee to have a certain amount.
Here are some charts and tables showing Amazon income taxes:
