The extra productivity isn’t going to the government via taxes on the common person, it’s going to those who already own most of the capital and can leverage that. Maybe the government also spends too much, but that’s not the root cause of the lack of the common person sharing in productivity gains.


It's going to the government one way or another. Taxing the wealthy reduces the amount the wealthy invest and hence can pay employees.
