Wealth doesn't come from government in a capitalist view point
Wealth comes from the underlying value of supply and demand. Those who have what other people want and inclined to purchase is a person with wealth.

If nobody has food and is willing to buy/trade for it and the only person around is a tomato farmer, the farmer is wealthy because he has products that provide wealth. There's no government involved in that transaction.

That's the free market view, but the capitalist view is that people who earn income and engage in commerce owe money to the government for doing those things, for normal human activity.

The laissez faire economists wanted to restrict taxation to fall only on land ownership. That will allow the free market to exist because we will have equal access to land and zero taxes besides the land value tax.
