>> Ronald Reagan was the one that started calling taxes "fees"

This is not correct, however, it makes no difference. A tax, a fee, a penalty, they're all the same things.

The term "penalty" as used in the tax code originated, years ago, to insure the penalties would not be considered deductible for tax purposes. But it is still a tax anyway you look at it.
