Isn't it the workers who (whom? I never know) pay the payroll tax? That's their money, in exchange for their time spent on work, that's not Amazon's money. This doesn't make sense to me.

In the US, "payroll" taxes are split between employer and employee. The biggest items that fall into payroll are Social Security and Medicare.

in USA it works like: pay is $100. then take home is $80 because $20 is taken out for various payroll taxes. then also the company pays $20 for their portion. employees only see the -20 from them, not the +20 from Company on wage stubs.
also, if the company has profits there is some tax on that (well, my little C-corp did)
