If you owe money to someone and don't pay it deliberately... what else would you call it other than stealing? Corporations get many benefits from the governmen

Corporations get many benefits from the government (as do we all, in different ways) so is only fair that they pay taxes.
The corporate tax rate is less in recognition that they are capital generators.

- abritinthebay 10y agoDefaulting on a debt is stealing - especially if the debt is, like taxes, principle only - it's a specialized form of it. Besides defaulting applies to loans. In this case you're specifically withholding something that is legally someone else's. That's theft, no matter how you cut it.
