According to pic related, when your employer keeps your surplus production, it's equivalently exploitative as when the government taxes you. Is this a critical flaw in pro-capitalist arguments?
Personally, I don't view it as equivalent because you voluntarily work for the employer and agree to a wage or salary. You do not consent to having 50% of that wage then be removed by the government.
Are there any other arguments why pic related is a false equivalency?

Politics is about connections, not arguments. Whether a policy is exploitative or not is irrelevant.

The government does not take such a massive amount such as 50% of your wage through taxation unless you live in a socialist government. A graduated income tax like in the States is probably the best balance, as it gives the federal government funding, while leaving most of your salary untouched unless you are extremely wealthy. With no federal funding, infrastructure would deteriorate and eventually collapse.

I'm not asking whether taxation is bad or not.
