You're not going to change behavior by moralizing to people who consider what you think is moral to in fact be immoral, or who at least are amoral about the whole manner as corporations tend to be. Since we can't seem to agree on the moral issues of taxes, all that's left is the reality of law, and the incentives of the law. It's posturing to think we can solve the matter by any other means than top-down legislation and enforcement, if indeed there is a problem to solve. (Corporations and individuals both have many arguments for why they are paying enough taxes already thank you.)

You're right. Which is why I think a fair solution is to round up people who think taxation is automatically immoral (along with the rest of the "if a government did it, then it is by definition immoral" brigade), drop them somewhere with no government and no laws, limited resources and maybe a bunch of weapons, and let them put their philosophies to the test.
If there are any survivors, then when they make their way back to civilization they might have a different worldview.
It'd be a fun experiment, but I'm occasionally revolted by the supposed outcome people seem to fantasize will happen. Income tax, the tax people usually complain the most about, is only 100 years old, how did anything get done before it? If you did the experiment with Americans I'd sooner expect to see something like a 19th century Mormon settlement than Somalia or whatever hellish landscape is in your mind.
Or not.
