Except that it's not and you being aggressively ignorant isn't helping anything. Taxes pay for things that you use every single day. You have the ability to move to another city/state that has a smaller tax bill and you can even live in another country if you'd like. You have that freedom.

EDIT: Amazing. I didn't think there was any ideology that believed that citizens should pay absolutely zero taxes. Ridiculous, guys. I can't even imagine how terrible a country would be with zero taxes.

None of that means that they aren't theft.

If I buy you something with money I forced you to give me, that's theft. If I force you to give me money unless you move to another country, that's theft.

Taxes are theft. They are an unavoidable and necessary theft, but they are theft, and should be minimized as much as possible.

You need to read up on what taxes are used for as it looks like you haven't done the required reading to participate.
