The Amazon tax
I certainly hope so. GP implies that they are committing fraud to "stick it to the man". Nine times out of ten, this simply results in the man sticking it to us again.

Amazon is not "the man".
They are for-profit corporation, not our government.
There's a difference.

The phrase "the man" means (roughly) "the establishment". The two biggest components of that are the government and big corporations.
