With the tax evaded, we could END hunger, we could END child poverty, we could have universal pre-school, we could pay for state college for everyone.
It is good to keep in mind that society must be balanced between to centers of power: state/political power, and economic power. If the state has complete consolidation of both political and economic power, then you have Russia, China, etc. and corruption at a state level.
If you have economic power control the politicians, you have something close to the US and some other countries where wealthy politicians pick and choose senators and greatly influence outcomes.
Both extremes are bad - a state controlled by the wealthy, and all wealth controlled by the state.
If the wealthy control the state, you have mass poverty, crime, a weak democracy, corruption, etc. If the state controls the wealth it has total power, so you have people disappear if they question it, you have mass starvation, no one to complain towards even if mines are unsafe, etc. In general, states killed 1000x more of their own people than corporations did.
