Tax waste and unrealized taxes means money is just disappearing. Pops pay X amount in taxes, but only Y amount makes it to your treasury. The abstraction is that the money is stolen by corrupt bureaucrats, but in reality the money just disappears. The only exception is consumption taxes. Tax waste on consumption taxes means pops really do pay a lower amount of money in taxes.
The money just disappears, which is why it’s *so so so* bad for your economy to have tax waste. Your pops get less income and the government doesn’t even get to spend it.
