I think coercive taxation is theft, and government has a moral duty to keep it to a minimum.

Steal a little and they throw you in jail. Steal a lot and they make you king.

Don't steal. The government hates competition.

So government acts as a safeguard of our property.

One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.

Pro-taxation shills complain about the "need" to steal money in order to support the "greater good". What greater good? The shills' good pet projects, of course.
