How would we fund the military if taxation is theft?
Via local sales tax. They already add at least $10 for every $100 you spend give or take.
We already pay way too much in taxes already. Look at your cell phone bill, energy, gas, etc... surcharge 1 surcharge 2 surcharge 3 etc...
That phrase doesn't leave any room for nuance that local sales tax isn't also theft.
Read your history books and look at what Trump did. The military and ALL taxes are paid by tariffs, duties, and taxes on corporations. We the people are free and would be paying our fair share thru buying what we buy. Those tariffs and duties are ultimately passed on to the consumer, likewise taxes paid by consumer at point of purchase. Either by sales taxes or increase in price to pay for the tariffs and duties. But the person's or people it would be voluntary in that nobody is putting a gun to our head demanding payment, rather it would be voluntary in that you choose to buy and pay or not. We the people are free and need act accordingly
Why is that taxation also not considered theft?
Taxation of wages for labor was never openly I tended but that is where they took it.
The Founders never wanted a standing military. We should be thankful they don't actively fuck with us over here. However, our police are the standing army the Founders warned us about.
We're supposed to be well regulated irregulars, meaning all that material is supposed to be privately owned. Granted this does lead to issues with modern armor, air and naval units, but there's got to be workarounds like car clubs for classic cars.

Regular people had man 'o war ships (not to be confused with Manowar the band), which were ships fit for fighting, not merchants. They were private ships outfit with cannons.
Tariffs used to fund the entire federal government before 1913.
Are tariffs not considered theft?
No. If you don't want to pay high prices for foreign goods, you can buy American and pay less. No one is forcing you at gunpoint to buy a Swiss watch or German camera rather than cheaper American versions, but the government actually is forcing you at gunpoint to pay taxes. That's why the IRS has been stockpiling ammo.
That logic could be used on income tax. Nobody is forcing you at gunpoint to make money.
Let's just ditch the illogical taxation is theft.
