Many people fight this everyday. Some go to jail some don't.

Welcome to the capitalist west. A wonderful place where people who read aloud infront of cameras or who kick balls around a grass pitch for 90 minutes have wages multiple times the size of people like teachers, doctors, scientists (generally people who save the world and help advance mankind on a daily basis).
It's almost enough to make you turn to communism...until you remember that sucks even worse.
These are usually the paranoid sort. They're the ones with no understanding of law or economics. The Federal Reserve is evil, even though it seems to work most of the time. The gold standard, abandoned years ago, is touted because the bible says only gold is "real" money. Ergo, you don't have to pay taxes on greenbacks because they're no better than counterfeit money.
No, no, millions of people would not voluntarily choose to pay their taxes...
'Sounds like it comes from the same source which says that submitting to law enforcement is voluntary and all you have to do is say "Nah, I'm going home."
Er... yeah. The FIT is evil, and takes too much from the poor.
As for submitting to law enforcement, no, you DON'T have to submit to a search (unless they have a warrant), you DON'T have to answer their questions, and THEY DON'T have any right to just randomly stop and search a person. (Not that it stops them.) Fourth Amendment, folks.
“Fedral income Tax ...Is suppose to be Voluntary !!!!!”
You’re thinking of Social Security. It was intended to be voluntary. They don’t like people to know this, but it’s true.
One of our high school teachers took the city to court to prove it.
Now, the WITHOLDING is voluntary. You can get your employer to give you the money if you think you can invest it better over the year. But you will have to pay at the end of the year.
I knew a number of sailors who just asked not to pay income tax. Payroll doesn’t give a rat’s, they stopped the witholding.
Always came as a shock when they had to pay, along with the penalties and interest.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
