The Government being able to "draft" for a military force is not in the Constitution. It is supported, however, yet that does not mitigate free choice. The Government can not "force" you to serve in the Army against your will. As a citizen you still have a choice.

The Government can not "force" purchase of anything, taxes are "voluntary", laws are not part of the Constitution, and we already discussed the military.

Other things "calculated in income taxes"? Just what do you think those things are?

The current form of the constitution allows conscription in wartime. It is legal for your government to pass a bill forcing you to serve in the army against your will. You seem to think you have this magical thing called unlimited and total freedom as a constitutional right. That isn't the case at all.

Back in reality, the constitution does not make it illegal for the government to force you to buy something, force you to pay taxes, force you to abide by laws, or force you to serve in the military. It also doesn't make it illegal for you to have to pay specific taxes on things like alcohol or tobacco. All sorts of other bonuses and penalties are applied to taxes. Paying a penalty for refusing to get coverage is not any different than paying a penalty/tax or receiving a bonus for any of the other things calculated in income tax.
