If you consider how much money is embezzled / stolen by (most) corporations by avoiding paying taxes for all the services they benefit from, in the countries they operate in, this seems a very good feature.
You can only call tax avoidance stealing money if your prior assumption is that all money earned belongs to the state as the owner, and you can only have whatever the state gives you by its generosity. That is a pretty big assumption.
That assumption is unnecessary. The only assumption needed is that taxes belong to the state. Property is defined by law.
I don't see what "taxes belong to the state" may mean. Taxes may mean a) some set of laws regulations that create legal framework for some money being paid to the government and b) money that has been paid to the government according to the framework above. The only way you can steal tax money is when you first pay the taxes and then get some of that money back illegally. I'm not sure there are a lot of corporations that do that. A lot of them do it legally, by means of corporate welfare, but while it can be despicable, it does not qualify as theft. Failure to pay taxes usually is illegal, but can not be sensibly defined as theft.
Law used to define some people as property. It's extremely reductive to equate the concept of property with what the law happens to say.
Yeah, because it would be much better if none of these companies existed.
Did the parent imply that?
Yes, of course.
Why is it a matter of course?
No, it implied it would be better for them to pay their taxes.
If that's the only thing keeping them afloat, very much better.
