COMMENTS:
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world, had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

I fail to see any sense in what the questioner was saying. Because there are penalties for not paying your taxes, it's forceful, and therefore somehow wrong?
With regard to Reid referring to our tax system being "voluntary", he's referring to voluntary enforcement -- we rely on citizens to fill out an income tax form, and voluntarily pay any outstanding taxes. A non-voluntary system would mean you have no opportunity to pay or not pay, ever. Things like Huckabee's "Fair tax" plan, where all tax becomes sales tax, would be a good example of a "non-voluntary" tax system. No forms, no opportunity to avoid paying it because it'd just be baked into the cost of everything you buy.
The obligation to pay taxes is not voluntary, and is an innate responsibility that comes with citizenship. Without taxes, there's no government for you to be a citizen of.
If you're not willing to sign on to that part of the social contract, you're free to renounce your citizenship, and go elsewhere.
All that would probably go over the head of this guy. He's just a right-wing hack using word games to try to make the Democratic Senate Majority Leader look silly.
