If we willfully participate, it's not theft. I just don't want to participate at the current levels. I'm fine with a small gas tax that keeps our roads in good shape, but gas tax gets relocated to things that have nothing to do with traveling on roads. I'm completely against property tax because that is absolutely theft. That said, people who don't want to participate shouldn't be compelled to pay tax, but gas tax and roads are definitely aligned. Taxes should align to the purpose and those who don't want to pay the tax don't use the service.
