Assuming further that the taxes accurately measure the benefit that comes from the interaction of luck, privilege and society.
Assuming even further that taxes effectively redistribute wealth to workers, educators, and nurturers.

Otherwise they'd be worse off for making the exchange. We cooperate because we both gain more than we lose from said cooperation. That's a great and beautiful thing.
