tax (tks)
n.
1. A contribution for the support of a government required of persons, groups, or businesses within the domain of that government.
2. A fee or dues levied on the members of an organization to meet its expenses.
3. A burdensome or excessive demand; a strain.
Because "tax" in related to personal income tax is just a fancy word for "theft" and "slavery." You can change the name all you want but it still is what it is.

If having 100% of the product of your labor stolen is literally slavery, then at what percentage does it stop being slavery?

The bottom line is this, the only reason any of us pay taxes is because we would be arrested if we didn't. If that doesn't show the true reality of the situation, then nothing will.
