  The difference is I can shun a company making unfair profit and choose a competitor (in most cases at least) but I can't not pay taxes for any reason (even civil disobedience is hard to prove). In general, any company/institution where I voluntarily part with money will, and has to, have lower regulations (not zero) than an institution where I don't have a choice.

  "take from us in the form of profit" doesn't really make sense, unless you're talking about healthcare or some other absolute essential.
