Whew. For a second there, there almost wasn’t going to be a ‘most ridiculous statement’ for the month of March. But, then, Free Liberal put up the following video interview with Senator Harry Reid. It’s amazing. Amazing!

Our Senate Majority Leader stresses repeatedly that taxation is voluntary.

“Well, I don’t accept your phraseology. I don’t think we force people…our system of government is a voluntary kind of system.”

Yes. You head it right. Taxation is voluntary.

Haha. Voluntary! Oh man, that’s rich.

I didn’t think it was possible but it’s better than February’s ‘most ridiculous’. For those of you that don’t remember it was Deborah Sims, Cook County Commissioner (D-Chicago), arguing that “This country was built on taxes.”

A false empirical claim

Senator Reid’s comment, on the other hand, is false by definition.
