"What can we do?" Well you can look at it in the round and realise that your income is similarly higher than it otherwise would be because government spent money into the economy that it is now extracting as tax. Moving the tax around doesn't avoid you paying it. It just gets rolled into the price of what you buy instead. That's because in aggregate corporate costs including taxation are a component of final consumption expenditure. While there are fewer jobs than people that want them the incidence of charges on corporations will always end up being paid by workers one way or another. That's the whole point of the 'unemployment buffer' put in place during the neoliberal era - to make sure that price changes can't be easily passed through to wage rises and thereby resolve the distributional conflict in favour of capital.
