Nobody said they are equivalent; taxation is a subset of theft, theft that is approved by the government. That is all taxation is theft (coercive appropriation) but not all theft is taxation (legal coercive appropriation).
- jacquesm 17y agoIf you think that taxation is a subset of theft I suggest that you try getting the government indicted for stealing because of them taking your taxes. Theft is defined by the government, not by you.
