I think the concept of taxes wouldn't be wrong, as long as they're used properly, and that the funds are used wisely and to the benefit of those who contribute them. But fiat money is the biggest theft in history, and taxes in times of fiat money, where the government has the ability to create all the money necessary to run a nation, are an even greater aberration. That is, they print money without a limit, degrading citizens' purchasing power, and at the same time, they want to take another part of the loot from us through taxes.
