The question is rather: Is taxation
justifiable theft? A necessary evil? Libertarians tend to argue that it's wrong regardless the intentions. Taking someone's property without their permission is unethical, no matter how good you want to do with it. Others, who support
social contract theory, argue that it's necessary and should be seen as "voluntary obligation".
There is no right or wrong answer (un)fortunately. Feel free to speak out loud.
If it is called theft and crime, doesn't the government make regulations about taxation? Legitimate taxation is carried out by the government through related agencies and they announce the amount imposed on each person. The analogy of taking property without permission is a different perspective because it is impossible for the government to take other people's property arbitrarily if it does not commit an unlawful mistake. Thus the assumption that it is theft or a crime can be refuted on the grounds that they impose taxes based on applicable regulations.
Most people do not agree with the pattern that is carried out because there may be differences based on perspective, but if taxes are regulated in regulations, we cannot say that it is a crime or theft. I support the way of thinking of people who are realistic and those who voice the public interest, but to what extent are we able to defend it when it comes to final laws.
