I disagree that you can be forced to give up your paycheck. Part of it yes, but an entire paycheck? I seriously question that

If we allow them to take some of our paycheck, what stops them from taking it all? It's a question of magnitude... the basic premise is that they are already deciding what we get to keep. If we accept that premise, we have to accept when they decide it should be nothing.

I do get what you're saying. But, I've seen nothing intrinsic to the arguments validating the income tax that imply there is some built-in limit to what can be taken. Any limits are those imposed by voting alone.

It's either constitutional, or it's not. It's not just constitutional up to X percentage.

It probably sounds like splitting hairs, but I think we need to understand the power we have handed over to our fedguv.
