Personally, I do feel it is theft, I never consented to any taxation. I feel that this video helps explain the video quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGMQZEIXBMs

Did you go to school?

Do you use the roads?

Did you ever visit the hospital? (unless you're from USA)

Then don't act like you haven't consented to taxation, you're using the benefits built and made from taxes
You must pay your taxes if you're going to use these services
It would be selfish to avoid it, and it could also get you to jail  Cheesy

Never did I claim any of these things, nor did I claim that taxation doesn't provide these things. However, these things were all provided by stealing from other people (taxation). The question was is taxation theft, not does taxation provide any services.

Regardless of me using any of these services, I never consetned to paying for them. If I stuck a chocolate bar into your hand and put a gun to your head and said "Give me $100, since you are buying this chocolate bar, if you refuse, i'll throw you into a cage, if you resist i'll kill you." is that justifiable for me to do it? If not then how is it justifiable for the government to do it?
