However, objectively speaking, taxation is theft. It's taking someone's property without their consent, and it is compulsory.
Then what's the point of parliament and legislation body that people chose to pass those laws? If they chose them, then tax is not taking their property without consent, they've already consented to it.
If they don't like it, they should change the law but until then it is not theft.

The question is rather: Is taxation justifiable theft? A necessary evil?
The only real questions that should be asked are:
1) Where is that money being spent? And if it is being wasted somewhere, how can that be fixed?
2) What's the alternative if there were no taxes? Tax is being spent somewhere, right? Like the defense budget. Where should that money come from without taxes?[/b] Who's going to pay the armed forces to defend your country specially at this time that the global tensions are rising.
