Some taxation is definitely justifiable, as ideally you pay taxes in exchange for government-provided security and services. If you say that the government can't take your money without consent, then logically you should not get to live in a country with secure borders without the government's express approval either. However, if abused, taxation can become theft, when governments use it to enrich themselves and consolidate wealth rather than to provide a basic functioning society.

a good take, I personally have no problem at all paying taxes if I know the taxes I paid used for betterment of the country, but when it's just being misused, some part of me feels disappointed, well nothing I can do about it, just gonna pay the next taxes, as a good law abiding citizen, but personally, I guess with how all the infrastructure that have been built I guess paying taxes still feels okay and not exactly theft.

really hopeful that government around the world could always utilize the taxes for good thing like social welfare, universal insurance and so on, lessen the burden of the law abiding citizen.
