If you owe taxes, the government's actions to reclaim those don't constitute theft.

If anyone is stealing, in this hypothetical where you aren't paying your taxes, it's you, from the rest of us.

Why do you believe you have a ethical claim on my labor? Do you own me?

While there can be a case for Land taxation, there is no ethical claim for Income Taxation.

Then why is land taxation ok, but not income?

With any good or service, there is the same economic trace back to government subsidies. Your income comes from the trading of goods or services.
