We're not trying to make taxes optional.  Limited government with 
limited power, and with no power to run roughshod over peaceful 
peoples lives is what we're trying to achieve. 
 
At the federal level we favor just enough taxes to defend the 
country (which does not equal being the policeman of the world
or placing troops in over 100 foreign countries), settle disputes 
between the states, negotiate treaties with foreign countries, run 
the federal court system, and not much else (which equals getting
rid of the federal welfare for corporations, politicians, and
individuals).
 
If the federal government stuck to just these things, we could 
end the federal income tax and fund the federal government with
only the existing tariffs and existing excise. 

A totally optional tax system would be nice, and might even 
be particle and possible, but it's not what were trying to 
achieve.
