Yup. It's a gross misunderstanding of how governments work. When libertarians say taxation is theft, they're essentially arguing for anarchy. And while I understand the idea of limited government and a large shift of power and decision-making to the people broadly, we still need a military, a police force, diplomats to conduct international relations, etc.

I would add one component though. We greatly simplify citizenship such that it's taken for granted. I think citizenship needs to be opt-in for those of us entitled to it by law. I should have a point in my life where I am offered a clear choice to accept the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, or if I will start the process towards emigrating to another country and becoming one of their citizens. At age 18 when I hit legal majority, I should have to pass a citizenship exam just like a legal immigrant to show I understand the way of life I'm going to choose or reject, and then I should be given the choice to opt in. By making this an affirmative choice, we get rid of the idea that we're simply born into a system of slavery to government, which is what a lot of these radical elements of our society so frequently argue. It would also set up a framework to encourage the malcontents and the radical subversives to leave.

The percentage of taxation the Colonists rebelled against is a FRACTION of what Americans are currently paying.

and yes.. IT IS THEFT

We have no representation in our government anymore. It's all taxation without representation aka theft now.
