Nothing is created in a vacuum, the state produced customers in good health to live long enough to buy shit, enough spare cash to afford it, and enough infrastructure to get it to them as well as educated enough to use it which is the reason that "value" exists at all.

You both formulate good arguments. Nonetheless, there are many countries where one could argue that the customers and infrastructure that make any business viable and profitable exist in spite of the state, and not because of it, rendering taxes a vile theft to benefit a very select group of people with no intention of doing any good with it. In which case, they would be impoverishing society as much as tax-evading companies.
