No kidding...

Let's not forget that property exists because we all implicitly (at the least) agree to it. As well as our economy and the existence of money as currency. I think people tend to think they have a right to a lot of things that have been given to them by the system. Taxation is part of the economic system that we all benefit from. I personally don't like the distribution of who pays what percentage of their annual income, but to call taxation "theft" implies that the entire economic system shouldn't exist. How can you feasibly reject only part of the economic system that you agree to and benefit from?
