Charities also misuse my money. Any organised effort will suffer more or less inefficiency and corruption, but they are generally still more effective than everyone working alone. Attrition is sometimes the price paid for getting things done, at all. I'm too experienced in charitable efforts to think otherwise.

The misuse of public funds has reached an unsustainable and frustrating high, and has made paying taxes onerous and diaheartening, but I have never heard a convincing argument against all taxation, per se. Places with some minimum of taxation tend to be less-miserable than places without it, and that is the Real World Test.

No, "all taxation is theft" is not a convincing argument. I am not the intended audience for such rhetoric, any more than I will respond well to "all marital sex is rape" or "religion is the opium of the masses", or other cereal box pseudo-intellectualism attempting to make unequal things equivalent.
