That doesn't mean that all taxation is justified or good.
Taxation that is too high or that is spent on things the people don't want is tyranny and must be resisted.  But it's tyranny, not theft.

Taxation that is not voluntary is exactly theft. You know this, you just love being the contrarian.

Taxes by definition are involuntary.  You should know this, but you have been radicalized by books or blogs written by people who don't know you and wouldn't like you if they met you.  Nothing personal.  These people don't like anyone.  You have been enticed into believing that if you converted to  philosophies that were pure enough, you would be accepted. Same enticement the 9/11 hijackers started with.
