We don't owe any portion of our income to the government, and people don't pay taxes because they think it's a good idea, or because they like the things the government spends that stolen money on. They do it because if they don't, men with guns will come and lock them up. It's no different than the Mafia asking for protection money. Neither of them have a legitimate claim on the money, but they use force or the threat of force against their victims to demand money.

The IRS even says that paying income taxes is voluntary.

a. It's the "golden Rule" principle. I.e. You have the gold, you make the rules.
b. You can voluntarily pay your taxes or you can go to jail. Easy as falling off a rock and often as painful.

My wish is to have a tax bill of half a million dollars based upon my income alone, not penalties or fines. I promise I wouldn't piss and moan. If I make enough $ to have that large a tax bill I gaurantee it wasn't the result of the sweat of my brow. I know how much money a person makes who actually consumes his or her body to make a living. I have also worked in the film industry and I know who does the "work" and who gets the pay. (hint not the same folks) I'd love to make enough money that I'd owe a million in taxes. It wouldn't hurt a bit. YES it's a shakedown, but so what? I'm still making millions of fucking dollars.
