WHY does the IRS Code itself state that taxes are a "gift?"
31 U.S. Code § 3113 - Accepting gifts
U.S. Code
(a)To provide the people of the United States with an opportunity to make gifts to the United States Government to be used to reduce the public debt—
(1)the Secretary of the Treasury may accept for the Government a gift of—
(A)money made only on the condition that it be used to reduce the public debt;
(B)an obligation of the Government included in the public debt made only on the condition that the obligation be canceled and retired and not reissued; and
(C)other intangible personal property made only on the condition that the property is sold and the proceeds from the sale used to reduce the public debt; and
