They haven’t entered the real-world economy and experienced confiscatory taxation yet.

Even if they ARE in the workforce, they don't recognize the taxation for what it is, because they never see that money--it's all taken out before they get the paycheck.

Out of sight, out of mind.

That is the most insidious part of “withholding”.
Even worse than the fact that they don’t take what you earned after the fact but moreso that because you never had it in your hands, it doesn’t feel like stealing.

Instead dumb leftists complain about their employer not paying them enough. All they know is how little they took home. They don’t think about where much of it went.
