wage tax

The money a person earns for their company that they aren't paid.

"I made GE 2 million by inventing a new process for distributing power."
"How much did you make for doing that?"
"My salary is $200,000 a year."
"So basically GE taxed you 90% of the money you made them."
"Yeah, I guess I paid some sort of wage tax."

minimum wage

Seems like a good idea, but its not. Creates unemployment and violates freedom of contract, if you dont understand how this could be true, check out an economics book, its basic econ.

Attempting to raise the minimum wage will result in poor people losing their jobs.

wage theft

When your employer/boss/manager breaks the law by not paying you all you're entitled to get. Not paying overtime, not paying minimum wage, deducting money from your paycheck, not reimbursing you for expenses, not paying you on time, paying "under the table", misclassifying you as an independent contractor, etc.

Lisa server broke a couple of bottles when she tripped on the way to the customer's table. At the end of the week, Lisa noticed that her manager deducted the cost of the bottles from her paycheck and remembered about wage theft.
