> Some results of your work will always be owned by others at no benefit to yourself.
Businesses provide plenty of benefits in return for the value they capture. I work for well managed companies that let me just show up, do my job, go home and get paid.
Anyone who wants to capture the full value can just start their own company and handle everything by themselves. I've done that too. It's liberating and at the same time a huge pain in the ass.
This is a perfectly good tradeoff to make.
> You pay taxes no matter what.
We pay taxes so the government can build useful infrastructure and handle all the natural monopolies. We want our tax money to be converted into useful services like fire departments and police forces.
We don't want governments literally giving away our money to people in the form of welfare checks. This is just politicians using our money to buy votes.
