“They Believe that it is wrong for the goberment to take %50 of the fruits of their labor, or how-bout we say they don’t like being half a slave.”

Half a slave? I have seen figures that say that a slave on a typical cotton plantation in the eighteen fifties actually consumed a larger percentage of his own production than the average American taxpayer.
Under the Feudal system the serfs probably averaged giving one third of their production to the Knight who owned the land. Taxpayers now may pay fifty percent to the government and then they have to buy their own land and house.
Half a slave? You may want to recalculate that. It is only the vastly greater productivity of modern methods that allow the government to take the huge percentage that it now takes, under old methods there would not be enough left to sustain life in the slaves. The parasite would kill the host at current levels of taxation.
It is really only the tremendous productivity of modern agricultural methods (and secondarily the great productivity of industry) that allows us to pretend that we are NOT all slaves. Of course I only refer to those who still pay taxes. We have another class of citizens that was unknown in feudal times, the Drones who consume far more than they produce but rather than being considered idle nobility they are called the poor. Poor used to mean someone who lacked the basic necessities of life, now it refers to someone who lives rather well but not by his own labor.
Of course we still have the royals and nobles but they are called politicians, athletes, entertainers etc. Mostly our jesters are unintentionally so, many of them bear the title of “Reverend”.
