I don't understand your point. Amazon has no incentive to help the city. What do you mean when you say you trust them with the money. Trust them to help themselves? How does that help the people who don't work at or own Amazon shares?

"you trust them with the money" -> "you trust them with THEIR money"

Why is Amazon, the corporation, with offices in 30 countries, under any obligation to help people in a city where they're headquartered, who don't work there or own shares?
