No one should pay taxes on their labor. Not one penny.
If I agree to provide a service through my labor in exchange for a monetary value then that is a one to one exchange between me and my employer. It is a benefit to both of us.
A third party, (like the faceless bureaucrat in government) has NO RIGHT to my wages which was earned by the sweat of physical activity.
Any tax on labor is partial slavery.
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
See even Jesus says we have to pay taxes
The Estate tax is plain theft, and right out of the communist manifesto.

“...Any tax on labor is partial slavery.
And any tax on property is paying rent to a landlord, even if the property has no mortgage.
If the rent isn’t paid, the tenant gets evicted.
No difference from being a serf.
Nail, meet hammer.
