Big companies aren't hoarding money to prove a point about government waste. They're doing it because they are entities designed to maximize and further solely their own interests and that of the shareholders. Government and law serve as constraints to ensure their good is compatible with ours.

Here we have two conversations:

(1) Governments should collect all taxes they're entitled to (they are acting on our will after all).

(2) Government waste should be eliminated.

Only the big ones are in a position to evade successfully further stratifying and consolidating power within the top few. Monopolies and even oligopolies are pretty distasteful to capitalists are they not?
