Its a good thing we dont live together then 😂 I dont consider taxes thievery, just a contribution to pay for things we arrange collectively as a society. Sure we can debate what that contribution is spent on and how high it should be, but the principle is fine with me. But hey we can agree to disagree, no worries 🫶

We can arrange things voluntarily and do in a lot of areas that government hasn't yet claimed control of. Government is NOT the people. It is rulers. It is self-legalizing initialization of force. Precisely the opposite of cooperation.

Arranging collectively means voluntary cooperative efforts. That is NOT what government does at all. They are NOT us, the people. If that is not obvious to you then I don't know how it could be more obvious than what governments are doing every day. I don't "agree to disagree". That is more cowardice and dishonesty.
