What do you do for a living? Mind if people just take the fruits of your labor for free?

I’d have to be a sucker to compensate you for your labor.

Governments obviously give people plenty of things back for their taxes, so taxes are in no way "taking the fruits of your labor for free".

No, because taxes are used to fund basic infrastructure and services you consume, that is nothing like pirating movies.
