Wait … what’s all this about a “voluntary” tax system?
I guess I missed that part about a "voluntary" tax system. Where is that?

Apparently acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller and Rep. Xavier Becerra are under the impression that we have one.
Rep Xavier Becerra (D) stated in the IRS hearing that our tax system is "a voluntary system" of paying our taxes…

Um, Becerra? We have a "voluntary" system of paying our taxes? Since when?

Huh.
We have a "voluntary system of paying out taxes"?! That is quite a statement Xavier Becerra of CA just made! I don't feel it's "voluntary."

Maybe “voluntary” doesn’t mean what they think it means.
Miller on taxes, voluntary compliance. What the hell is voluntary compliance? Pay tax or go to jail or fined up the yazoo!!!!

.@RepBecerra, what exactly is voluntary about our tax system? Voluntary as in, breathing or drinking water?

Wait wait wait….I'm still stuck on the fact that we just learned that we have a "voluntary tax system" wow all this time I had a choice?

Or they’re just echoing a fellow dolt:
I know where Steve Miller got his "voluntary compliance" for the tax code talking point: http://t.co/waQVC8aJuM via @youtube #IRS

Ah. Well, if complying with our ridiculously convoluted tax code is officially voluntary, does that mean we can opt out?
Congressman said we have a voluntary tax system. WHAT? Tell that to Lauren Hill & Wesley Snipes. Voluntary? Can I stop volunteering now?

Watching IRS hearings, I didn't realize that our tax system is a voluntary system. Does that mean I don't have 2pay taxes if I don't want2?

#IRSHearing So if our tax system is voluntary, where can I opt out without going to jail?? #tcot

I wonder if I have to file; #Voluntary RT @DickDadamo I wonder if I can use 'Julia' on my tax returns and claim her as a dependent. #IRS
