AOC: "don’t let your labor get stolen!"
Also AOC: tax rates should rise to 60-70% as your income rises.

To the worker, is there any practical difference between an employer that only pays them for 30-40% of their time, and being paid for all of their time but having a government that taxes them so that only 30-40% of their income remains?

Of course there is. Tax dollars pay for public benefits, including roads, schools, and of course unemployment benefits and so on.

As I said, this might be true, but on a personal level it will leave your family out of pocket in much the same way.https://twitter.com/sebinsua/status/1191162310867521536?s=21 …

I guess you could argue that the latter is better because that tax will pay for vital public services, but in terms of supporting your family they both will leave you with a similar income. And, in fact, it is far easier to get paid for your time, than it is to escape tax.
