Taxation is not theft for the same reason sex is not always rape, there is consent.
Where is the consent in taxation? It is similar to rape. The government decides the tax rates, and the citizens have to pay. It doesn't matter whether they want to pay or not.
Taxation is not theft for the same reason sex is not always rape, there is consent.
Coerced consent is not really consent. Governments use force and threats now instead of the will or consent of the governed. Like Bill Cosby with his romances, there are very few complaints but calling it consent is a stretch.
you are free to leave your country or to go live in nature, but if you want the shared benefits of a modern society, then you have to contribute in the form of taxes to upkeep this society.
Living in nature IS living in society a lot of the time. People have little choice offered to them to live without Government. This means that it is Government that is harming the people through taxes. But they call it benefiting the people.
"We will screw the heck out of you, and steal your property and labor in the form of taxes, for you, for your own good." All Government wants is a bunch of slaves.
