Blue Collar Workers Obsession with Tax Paid vs. Money Earnt

Always dread this time of the year when my blue collar mates carry on in group chats about taxes and how much of a scam it is.
Like sure it can look depressing for some of them that earn high 6 figures and pay a lot of tax, though you’re earning so much money and theres not much you can do about your tax besides deductions and contributions.
It’s a part of the society we live in, so just get over it and focus on how much you’re banking instead of an amount you have not much control over. $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ $BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$
