The company is paying the worker from earned revenue, it isn't coming out of thin air.

My point is that they are providing the income that is taxed and used by the government.

By that definition companies are very nearly the sole source of all taxes:

Capital Gains? The company increased its value.

Dividends? Comes out of earned revenue.

Sales Tax? Comes out of sales by the company.
