Only if the taxes are actually owed. If an entity lowers their tax burden legally then the public was never owed the money. I don't agree with this model and would much prefer a simple tax code. But as-is, its disingenuous to say that taxes unpaid because one finds a legal way to avoid owing them is taking out of the public coffers. One can't take money that was never owed in the first place.
