Not only does it result in confiscation of the fruits of a person's labour (so yes, they are theft) but they are then used to coerce sovereign individuals both in the home country and often around the world to do things against their will.
So not only is your property taken from you by force, the government also then uses it to maintain an unjustifiable monopoly on force which should not be tolerated by any liberty-loving individual.
I personally agree with this. I think that there should be government, but it should only protect those who pay for it's protection, and prevent environmental destruction. Other than that it should compete with private defense companies for enforcement of natural law.
