“stolen” is such a cringe ancap term
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
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.
And very few working class people have an effective tax rate of 40%, even in high tax states
