Not only does he not contribute, he destroys other people's jobs. If he were taxed enough to pay for the jobs he destroyed, he wouldn't be so rich. This is the type of asshole Trump wants to pay less tax. How about taxing the imported goods Amazon sells high enough to replace the lost money they cost?
