If Congress has the authority to raise the top income tax rates to 46% they have the authority raise it to 100%. That sounds like slavery to me. (Check out the definition of involuntary servitude.) Where in the constitution does the Congress get the authority to enslave anyone?

Actually, the Congress has Constitutional authority to levy a 100% tax if it so desires: Amendment XVI.
