no? Powerful collection means creditors think the US will pay it debts. This is why Greece collapsed, the EU gave them lists of people to chace for tax and they didn't. So why help when shit hits the fan.
It's not like we raise taxes, use it to pay for society, and repeat. We decide to pay for it, do it, and maybe recoup some of the costs. That is why we have a deficit right?
Microsoft not paying $30B did not cause society to lose out on $30B.
That $30B got spent a long time ago. Now it will just sit contributing a little to the 11th digit of the national deficit.
