Please stop with the idea that income tax is voluntary.
It's correct to say that you don't pay tax if you live in the streets spending your days begging and farting, but for normal people living a normal working life, there's no choice.

There's always a choice. You can live a comfortable and worry-free existence without paying taxes and have a roof over your head. And I don't know what you mean by 'normal'? The brainwashed materialistic naive masses who think that it has to be this way and that you must conform as there's no other option normal?

Are you just trying to pump your post count to get the ad reward or are you serious?  Even the most ardent statists will tell you that taxation is not voluntary; it's not supposed to be, and that's how they like it.  You're either very confused or really need to keep posting nonsense for your sig.

Ah, the old you're only posting because of your sig approach. Petty. I would argue this all day regardless of a sig deal and regardless of what you may or may not think.

Taxation is voluntary. You're confused if you think you have no other option than to pay it. I suppose if you play a game of Monopoly you're forced to go to jail and pay fines, right? Yes, if you play the game, but nobody is forcing you, you can quit any time, nor do you even have to start playing the game in the first place, but if you want to keep arguing with me and 'pumping up my postcount' so be it. What's your reason for posting nonsense?
