They should, but companies tend towards amorality the larger they become. I think you're right to care about the issue, but we should forget about using shame as a tactic. We think of companies as institutions comprised of people who can be reasoned with, but it's more effective to think of companies as a bacterial growth on a petri dish named Earth. If you want a large company to pay taxes you have to make well-defined laws and enforce them.

If you use an exploit in computer systems to get unauthorized access you cant just say "well, thats how its designed, write better programs next time". Retroactive taxes should apply here, what was written in the law was wrong with the actual intent of the lawmaker, we shouldnt encourage this stupid cat and mouse games, just pay your taxes.
