>Taxation is obviously not theft, any more than charging for goods is.

Pretty sure when you force or coerce someone to buy something they do not want, it is illegal and immoral. And if the value of the item is significantly less than the price paid, it is theft in all but the most pedantic ways.




That sounds like "advertising" and "capitalism" to me - not that I entirely disagree with your opinion.
