I do not agree. Government has NO MORAL CLAIM on income, which is but an economic manifestation of labor. If one concedes that government has first claim on your labor, then you have conceded that slavery is morally acceptable.

So all that high-toned historical rhetoric about the Civil War is just so much hot air.

Of course, this won’t change in our lifetimes, but I think the concept of slavery = income taxes adds to the debate.
