No. Your income is property. What government has done, among many other violations of inalienable rights, has deprived people of their property. When government does that in the USA, it’s a “taking” and must be justly compensated by law. Eminent domain applies to all forms of property:

If they don’t want to compensate they shouldn’t have taken away property. These lockdowns are unconstitutional for a few reasons but let’s not forget the 5th amendment, and yes, it does apply here as property was taken, supposedly for “public good.”

The ability to tax does to equate to an ability to spend in all cases whatsoever.

Or, put more succinctly, just because you levy a tax to support an expense (say social security) that does not make the expense lawful.

... as for other taking, the same applies.

Two wrongs do not make for amendments to the Constitution.
