        If they were talking about wage theft in the sense of people being paid less than the value they produce, that number would be much, much higher.

      Besides, only a part of taxes goes to enriching the wealthy. Some is still used for good, useful causes.

      Of course, rightwing grifters are hard at work to change that, but for now, some part of taxes is useful and good.
