If red is blue, then tax is theft. From a false premise, all conclusions can be drawn.

Theft is not taking involuntarily. Theft is taking illegally which is an important distinction to make. I take your watch. I want to keep it. It's taken from me against my will. That's certainly not theft.

Is law arbitrary? Slavery was legal once. Was slavery OK back then?
