yeah, make sure to let Ed and Elaine Brown know that fact.
yea right.
Why does the title say "admits," as if it's actually a true statement.
It should say, "IRS Director Engages in Propaganda on the Level of Claiming War is Peace and Slavery is Freedom by Claiming Taxes are Voluntary."
LOL
Do something Danke
You shouldn't be taking everything they say literally.
Reporting people for tax evasion is also voluntary.

Working is voluntary. Taxes are a part of that. Its right there in the EULA.
In New Zealand:
The Coastguard is a Charity
Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
The DMV is a private non-profit
Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
A tax return has 4 fields
Business licenses aren't a thing
Prostitution is legal
We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care
Not this voluntary crap again...
"Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant. Judge Learned Hand, dissenting in Commissioner v. Newman, 159 F2d 848 (1947).
We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. "At least," as one man said, "there's one advantage about death; it doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."

I agree with you about the folly of those who pretend they can simply not pay taxes and expect to find the law on their side.
But it is interesting to see high-level politicians and bureaucrats insist on saying that taxes are voluntary. The congressman in that video repeatedly stated that as a dogma that he took as an unquestioned axiom on which further conclusions could be built, and acted like he wasn't even saying anything remarkable.

Politicians always say misleading things. Remember "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it."? Even Ron Paul is guilty -- ""We should have the lowest tax that we’ve ever had, and up until 1913, it was 0 percent. What’s so bad about that?" -- ignoring the Civil War era income tax that lasted for 8 years. He has also claimed that the federal income tax was ruled unconstitutional during the Civil War period (to the contrary -- it was ruled constitutional) because there was no explicit authorization for it (there was).
But the income tax is voluntary in the sense that the system relies on the disclosure by taxpayers of information about one's income and deductions that is solely within their possession. Yes, there are information returns that the IRS gets from payors of wages, dividends, and interest, but there are many other types of income that don't involve information returns.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

This entire system is voluntary. One has a choice. One might seriously consider the consequences of their choices though.
If there are enough people who voluntarily choose not to pay tax, then it will be nearly impossible for them to collect. The closer we get to this so called cashless society though, makes it that much more difficult.
Just as with the open carry marches in gun free zones...

Stupid tax deniers* (a redundant term) think that under the law as written they have no obligation to pay income tax unless [they engage in a "federally privileged" activity] [sign a W-9] [reside in a "federal area"] [have foreign-sourced income] [some other idiotic theory] and that if none of these apply any payment of tax is purely voluntary with absolutely no legal compulsion and no legal sanction for failure to pay. These people are hopelessly wrong; as Hand said, taxes are forced exactions and cannot be compared to purely voluntary charitable contributions.
*To be distinguished from a tax protester who doesn't pay purely on moral grounds. Such folks don't deny what the law says; they just feel a moral obligation not to pay.

No they aren't. People pay them because they are threatened with violence that will be done to them if they don't pay them. That's not voluntary.
Taxes are a form of extortion or theft.
ETA: Of course there are some who do pay them voluntarily and gladly. But the whole point of taxes is to make sure that the people wouldn't pay them voluntarily still have to pay them, like it or not.

I’ve started a court case against the Kingdom of the Netherlands in which I’ve argued that paying taxes is a criminal offence, as it is illegal to support a terrorist organisation...
