If you want to assert that taxation is the taking of private property, in violation of your property rights, then you have to deal with the fact that the concept of private property is a result of laws and conventions, of which taxes is an integral part.

Granting yourself legal right to other people's lives is stealing, law be damned. Taxation is just them making people like you feel good about it.

It's like you completely ignored the post you were responding to.  "Lawful theft" is an oxymoron.   The definition of theft is "the act of stealing or taking something from someone unlawfully."  Since taxes are implemented by enacting laws, taxation cannot be theft.
