Apparently the budget crisis meant funding for the FAA was not approved, forcing the agency into a partial shutdown where they furloughed non-essential employees. Included among non-essential personnel are those responsible for collecting taxes. So since the FAA is no longer able to collect taxes from the airlines, the airlines are no longer collecting taxes from the customers (since collecting taxes that weren't actually being paid would be fraud).

Why would corporations try to take our money? Ain't that the government's job? Corporations don't want you to feel like they just don't value you. The more they charge you, the more they value you right?

Because they are businesses and businesses exist to make money. Of course competition for lower prices brought on by the taxes going poof can cut into profit enough that raising the prices to match end up costing more than it makes.
