“I don’t think that’s true. “
You’ll notice it took until the socialists in 1913 to get an income tax. They also put in a fiat currency and an illegal federal reserve.
Income tax is slavery. There is nothing voluntary about it. It is also Taxation without Representation.
Harry Reid says it's voluntary:

Prior to 1913, the gov't ran on taxes on imports. You don't think those costs are passed on to consumers?
I'm still waiting for your solution to funding the necessary functions of gov't. It's fine to complain, but without an alternative, your position is specious.
Well, you could choose to not work...OR, just figure out how to be born to a rich daddy and be a trustafarian and never actually pay taxes on income. But, mostly you are right. We are "hypothecated". Obamacare has made it even worse, for now we live in a suzerainty. Do you breathe? Then pay tribute to Aetna.
