Here's an idea:
Drive to Boston Harbor. Light some ships on fire while shouting, "No taxation without representation". This, I'm sure, will bring the end to the taxation "theft" you yell at clouds about.
Eh, I'll stick to minimizing my personal tax burden and advocating at every avenue and opportunity for reduced spending and fiscal responsibility while attempting to influence the way people think and talk about taxation. Sometimes that will be a nuanced and thoughtful conversation and sometimes it will be me yelling "Taxation is theft!"
I mean, I'm happy to listen to reasons why it's not theft but if taking my money at threat of violence is theft when one person elects to do it, then it is when one million people elect to do it.
