You are confusing two very different things.

I too don't want government to be too big or too all encompassing but that has nothing to do with whether some sort of taxation could be considered ok.

One things is certain though. If you had to pay for everything yourself you wouldn't be able to afford it. The price of many of the things we consider obvious today are based on many years of accumulated hard work by others than your forefathers which you benefit from today.

So we can discuss whether we pay too much tax, I am fine with that discussion.

But positioning it as all taxation being thievery is both incorrect and simplistic.
