Ok. The fact that you prefer it (probably because the thieve is mostly kind and generous to you) does not change the reality that it very much is theft from all those who might not agree with your societal preferences, and who did never consent to this. Since you naturally don’t have the right to forcefully take other people’s money without their consent, it’s impossible to forward that right to the state (or any person) acting on your behalf. That’s why it can logically be described as theft when a state collects taxes using violent force as a threat to anyone who won’t pay.
