It's not a tragedy of the commons. If you look at how actual money is spent there is plenty of money to cover all costs. Sales tax, gas tax, and property tax should be enough to cover the services that benefit the corporation. Now when the government is involved in all sorts of activities that in now way benefit the company -- non infrastructure/police/fire services, and a company wants to opt out by moving that's not a tragedy of the commons since they aren't externalizing any costs or exploiting any resources.
Some might argue that education, welfare, etc are beneficial to a corporation, but in reality they're not. They are to benefit the community -- the individuals receiving the output of those services. Of course a company requires educated people and if there aren't any available then they will have to develop schools to train their employees (something that has been done in the past).

My point is, when everyone stops paying taxes, there won't be any educated people anymore. Each company will have to get into the business of training people, making the cost higher than not paying taxes.
Ermm, bollocks. Very high quality education has been provided free to students by religous, charitable and philthropic foundations for centuries, in most cases far better than what the State (with its obsession with equality over achievement) could provide.
Not to mention that in the UK it's been shown that private and State education actually cost about the same per student... If the government just got out of the way, everyone could afford a good education for their kids.
