OK, Put Your Thinking Caps On!

[Reagan]

We all know that IRS taxes are not voluntary.  So -- why do they say it is?  And since they say it's voluntary, why do we have to sign "under penalties of perjury?"  Thoughts.

I think income tax started on a voluntary basis to help fund a war effort. The government liked it so much they made it a law. I could be wrong.

I believe it states that it is "voluntary compliance."  Which, again, we know it compulsory compliance.  So, why the charade?  The original statement I stated the tax was voluntary.  Should have read Voluntary compliance.

A lot of smart people here.  No one can come up with a thought on why they say "voluntary compliance" when we know it's not.  There must be a reason why they say it.  Come on -- give us your thoughts on why!
