The fact that you are on this forum communicating over the internet means that you have benefited from a public good, and therefore derived some benefit from taxes. We can argue about the value of things and what taxes should be, but a blanket statement like that strikes me as completely unreasonable in the modern connected world.

Just because I have received some benefit, (something which I am due since the money was taken from me) does not mean I have to agree that I am getting my money's worth or that I even have a want or need for some service I am paying for.

That's like NPR saying my $1,000 donation of a clunker car is of equal value and worth of the tote bag they sent me.

Taxation is not theft, it's a non-voluntary contribution to live in some location that is attractive for many other humans to live. If you don't want to contribute, you'd need to (a) move to some place where no other humans would want to live, e.g. in the middle of the desert, tundra or rainforest, or (b) arm yourself / raise an army, claim sovereignty over your desired territory and be prepared to fight to defend your territory for the rest of your life.

Thanks for admitting the government is basically the mob and if I don't agree I have no rights or worth as a living breathing human being.

Well, as a voter, you have a say. So if you do feel taxation is theft, campaign against it.

But you do live in democracy, so you will have to abide by the democratic rule. And if that rule says taxation is a benefit to society, you must continue to pay your taxes.

An alternative would be to leave for a country without taxation.

Go live in the woods. No one will hound you for taxes.

in order to forgo the social contract, you must first forgo the benefits of it

i.e. leave
