Taxes don't pay for society though. It's not like we raise taxes, use it to pay for society, and repeat. We decide to pay for it, do it, and maybe recoup some of the costs. That is why we have a deficit right? Microsoft not paying $30B did not cause society to lose out on $30B. That $30B got spent a long time ago. Now it will just sit contributing a little to the 11th digit of the national deficit.
