Are Taxes Voluntary?

Charlie Kirk talked about taxes in a video by Turning Point USA that appeared on Facebook in August of 2024. We have been unable to locate the passage of video anywhere else.

If you don't pay your taxes, they'll take you to jail at gunpoint.

"Taxes should be based on wealth. It should be a percentage, across the board"

One commenter said :
      "A flat tax is nice and all, but a national sales tax would be better. That way it doesn’t matter what kind of job you have, you pay taxes when you buy stuff in the US. It won’t just be Americans paying either, you’ll have tourists and immigrants paying towards taxes as well. Plus, rich people usually buy stuff worth a whole lot more, so they will pay more taxes in that way as well"

Charlie Kirk said :
      You are a 100% owner of everything that is yours -- your private property, your earnings, cash, everything. Taxes should start at zero. And at some point reach a consensus of how much of your possessions you're willing to give up in order to have some semblance of a functioning government. It is theft. They are forcibly taking it from you at gunpoint.

Just think about all the taxes you pay. Everyone, everywhere is collecting a tax for something. You even have to pay a tax to die. There are six taxes when you buy an airplane ticket. There are usually four taxes when you stay at a hotel. You pay a tax on your car or home every year -- even if your home is completely paid for, you have to pay a tax every year just to own it.

There should be some form of logical taxation within society that is fair to all. How much of your time and resources are you willing to share. Consider the only real way to address that is a flat 10% -- across the board, regardless of success, income, no loopholes, no deductions, no charitable deductions. 40% of Americans pay zero percent in taxes. That doesn't seem right, does it? Does it seem fair to pay an annually increasing "property" tax on something you already own, and pay it every single year? 20, 30, 40 years?
