It’s always talked about in the media as if everyone cares, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a normal person complain.

    Yes. As taxes are put on the price of my labour which I sell to the owing class, I do not just loose out on the surplus value, which the owning class extracts from the value I created with my labour, but also on part of the value which the capitalist uses to buy my labour. Taxes should be abolished and the surplus value should be used to improve society. This is only possible if the owning class is abolished and socialism is construced of course.

      This reads like another libertarian reinventing taxes and government as usual.

          Do the exercise. WHO collects the surplus value? And then as that is applied to society to enjoy…

          You’re describing a society with a government collecting money for the commons.

          I suspect your argument is more to do with who/what is being taxed how much, and then where to apply said tax money.
