Taxation is not theft or an act of thieving. Taxation is our share that we must give back to society that transforms into  government welfare services and others.

Your statement might have been true a few decades back. But now, most of the tax revenue is being spent on the defense budget, and for giving salaries to the governmental staff.
I'm not against defense spending. The security of the country is an important task for the government and society, but I am opposed to my taxes paying high salaries to officials and for the maintenance of their apparatus.

Officials receive a large salary and still use money from paying taxes for their own purposes. I do not like such a payment of taxes.
What can we change? If you do not pay the taxes we do to the poor their state if you pay the officials embezzle the budget. Change of officials is impossible because others come and steal exactly the same as the previous one.

In order to start taxation change, you have to realize that governments do not tax their people. A government is simply paperwork. That is why a government is referred to as a state. The state is simply a state of mind that has been written on paper. Paper can't do anything. It can't jump up and down. It can't drive a car. It is always people doing things.

Taxation is merely people forcing other people to give their property over to them.

Once you get this through your head, that taxation is people forcing other people to hand over their property, only then will you have a clear enough view of things to start to figure out how to change laws so that there is no taxation.
