I have no idea how you see those two things as mutually exclusive.

  If taxation is theft, so are the vast majority of jobs.

    I have a choice of jobs, including working for myself. I have no choice in paying taxes.

      > I have a choice of jobs, including working for myself. I have no choice in paying taxes. You totally do have choice to not pay your taxes, just like you have a choice to not pay your rent or mortgage or renege on other kinds of private contracts. The making those choices may lead to outcomes that aren't good for you, but it doesn't mean you have no choice.

      You can move to a place with no income tax. Now, you might argue that is impractical, but so getting a non-shit job for many people. I happen to think the government should impose taxes, and tax evasion is a moral failing, but I also recognized people were born into a contract with the government, and I'm not going to argue that's fair.
