There is no such thing as just price, including price of labor, determined abstractly. There is only what the market will bear. In this case, your compensation is adjusted for the tax burden, and what you are paid, net, is the price at which your labor "moves". Your compensation is lower because of the tax burden. In effect the company pays you more and you get less at the same time. The exact balance of the increase and decrease depends on market forces but my paying income tax and the payroll taxes paid by both me and my employer reduce my income. Also even if the difference predominately came from my employer I am as against the government controling the wealth generated by my employer just as I am against them taking my income. Of course I receive government services but to the more I get from the government and less of my income is spent the way I want it spent, the less freedom I have. Also the government spending is generally less likely to efficiently address my real needs because it is not determined by me, and because of inefficiencies transferring money to the government and back out as programs, and because government can not tell what there is a real demand for as efficiently as the market.
