    I understand what you’re saying, but could also be literal wage theft, or also more abstractly, from the view of labor theory of value

        The 40% number indicates that they’re talking about taxes.

        And it would be a very ancap / libertarian take to be upset about 40% of your pay going to public causes, instead of being upset about the fact that your CEO probably pays you about ten cents for every dollar of value you generate (if even that).
