What do you call taking someone's money without their consent, using force/threat of violence?
Taxes pays my education and healthcare, it funds the military that makes russia think twice before invading my country, it builds and maintains all the roads and bridges I use every day to move around, it pays food and housing for the people that can't afford that themselves.
I'm gladly paying taxes as long as it's not all going to the pockets of corrupt politicans.
