That’s all true, however corporations exist at the behest of the government. They could make laws against that, against taking money outside. For an extreme example, South Korea had the death penalty for capital flight. Quite extreme, I’m not advocating it but it did work.
Furthermore most major corporations have had government involvement to attain their status, whether in the forum of subsidy, bailout or military procurement. Unfortunately most people aren’t aware of this “corporate welfare”.
Basically corporations which are unaccountable concentrations of public power, should not be allowed to dictate to the government, which is at least in theory accountable to the public. Unfortunately the trend has been in the opposite direction.
