It goes back much farther than that, IMO. The 16th Amendment (...power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived...) is naked slavery.
A 100% tax rate is by definition, involuntary servitude. All you earn by the fruits of your labor is seized. Therefore, any lesser percentage is merely a matter of degree.

I have said much the same for years. It is common sense.
