Do you think that the income tax is voulantary. After all, you could avoid paying it by never working...
As I said, living in this country is voluntary, therefore by choosing to live here, you agree to follow the law, which may mean paying taxes. As you said, technically the income tax is voluntary as you are not forced to work. Even if you work you can get out of it, like the 40 million that already do.

I dont see how living in a high crime area relates to this, as crime is illegal, so how could choosing to live somewhere where things happen to you that are forbidin, mean consent? Bad example.
