Once the government is "allowed to take some fraction of the wealth stock," it will do it again, and again—forever. Weren't income taxes supposed to be temporary? If we can learn anything from "Robin Hood" (1973), it is that the government will take wealth as it pleases, whenever it pleases, as many times as it pleases, regardless of the damage it may cause. Large bureaucracies are unfeeling and, more often than not, inhumane. How much of this rings true to you?
