100% of ones wage taken is slavery. At what percentage does it become freedom?

Well if we're talking about wages as income, I'd argue any percentage is slavery. I'm simply making an even trade for my time and labor in exchange for wages.

To claim that is a gain to me is to argue that my time and labor are worthless.

Great question. It is not a binary step function. The greater the level of taxation the greater the servitude.
