This is beyond stupid. Its such a perfect example of how Liberals won’t call a duck a DUCK. (Hat tip to my buddy, Mustard, for pointing me to the link)
I don’t know which is funnier, Zap. The notion that we have a “voluntary” tax system (as in you can voluntarily pay your taxes or you can voluntarily go to jail), or the fact that you have a buddy named Mustard. 
Did anyone read the comments on the web site linked? It’s hilarious! These libtards are actually trying to support Reid’s comments! By their reasoning, taxation actually IS voluntary because we can chose to not pay and go to jail. I pointed out that by that reasoning there is no such thing as compulsory, everything is voluntary.
There was no federal income in the U.S until Lincoln needed money for the civil war,then during world war II,they were raised to near current levels,then again in 1986 to todays.During emergencys the federal government can do this,politicians just never repealed the tax emergencies and spent so much on assistance programs that now we’d go bankraupt as a goverment without raising them.Of course in all reality they are out of control and will continue so.Mandatory meant the King sent armed men to your home to collect,politicians use cleaver language and describe them as voluntary in our country because its an honor system that you do yourself through forms and w-2’s.But king still lives its the IRS,a agency outside the government that collects almost the same way the king did except they wear nice suits and send threatning letters and mafia like high interest penalitys that will eventually ruin and destroy your life if you don’t pay,even the possibility of jail.Remember thats how Al Capone was taken down,he deserved it but after that worked out the government figured they could use that on the very public they serve.
This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)
This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
