MODERATORS
Thousands of years of civilization have taught us that it's more efficient for everyone to pitch in to help each other than it is for everyone to live like a hermit and hoard their wealth.
I'm not asking for justifications for tax I'm asking for a reason to why it's not theft.
Because the consensus definition of “theft” doesn’t include it.
