Taxes are theft the specific way they are designed in most countries.
Another example of theft is a hired administrator administrating by the criterion of their own pay.
I mean, it is understandable how this works - their pay is a counterweight to the incentive to “mismanage” the company if someone else pays a fitting price. The issue here is that these two incentives do not completely neutralize each other, in some dimension their components add up.
Why I had to say that taxes are still theft - because a CEO is equivalent to a state official in this issue. It’s the same problem.
Political ideologies divide these problems, because political ideologies are like hedge funds, they diversify investments, so that every political ideology could be usable in every landscape for every policy. They are the opposite of consistent, by design.

Also that CEO has an eminently punchable face.
