From that perspective (and it is a good one to take) that tax half is taken away after your employer takes a much larger percentage of the value away from the profit generated by your work. You get way more in exchange for the taxes at least. How come that much bigger chunk is mentioned so much less often?

I sell my work for money, I don't associate with my employer for a part of the profits. If I want a part of the profits, I buy shares.

As long as I sell work for money, profit is not my problem as long as I am paid in full. For taxes I don't get a better deal, it depends a lot on the country you live, in my country I get almost nothing.
