You're right, it's more like slavery and legalized theft.
But for the sake of debate, if I came to your house with a gun and forced you to give me 30% your money, what would you call it?
If you are forced to give something that belongs to you to someone else, or an organization, that is theft and/or slavery any way you want to spin it.
You will be punished by fines, penlites, losing your assets, and even imprisonment for not allowing them to take your hard earned money. They will even use force if necessary. YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. I suppose you could call it rape, but that sounds a little extreme. Slavery is a better word.
African slaves were forced to give 100% of whatever they did to their masters. They were punished severely for breaking the master's rules. Back then they called it "slavery." These days you give 20% - 40%+ of your earnings to your master and you are still punished if you break the master's rules. They may not beat you, but they will imprison you and strip you of everything you have. Only now they don't call it slavery, even though that is exactly what it is.
