Why are we paying taxes if we're not paying off the national debt?

I did the math on it one day and I don't feel like always copying it on here, but we're not 38 trillion in debt. we should be about 99 trillion in the positive, except for the fact that we give a lot of it away, I started going through the top 100 companies and then top 1000, And I hit 38 trillion in taxes before I even got to the top 5000, because I factored in more than just profit, get a factor in an employee, you got to factor product, you got a factor in material, I Even left some out because I couldn't 100% say this was the right number for it, and I still hit 38 trillion, there are over a million businesses that are taxed for everything they do, from gathering materials sales tax, creating the product labor tax, selling the product sales tax, paying their employees, taxes on making a profit, taxes on bonuses, taxes on overtime, tariffs, fees for importing through unconventional means,etc .
