So it's my understanding if you have a IRS garnishment, they can pretty much take whatever amount they want. Are state tax garnishments subjected to a certain percentage?

I think it depends on the state...Maryland took 25% of my net pay in a wage garnishment....Chapter 7 Filed: 04/21/2011, 341 Meeting: 05/31/2011, Report of No Distrubution: 06/02/2011, Discharged: 08/03/2011, Closed: 08/10/11 -
State tax garnishments will depend on state law. I figure most state tax garnishments probably adhere to the state's regular garnishment rules. So, unless the state law specifically says the taxing authority can garnish a certain percentage, the state taxing authority probably just garnishes the same as any other regular creditor.
Also, the IRS cannot take "any" amount it wants, there is a calculation
