The categorization of taxation as "theft" or "extortion" is a matter of debate and depends on one's perspective and beliefs. Those who believe that taxation is illegitimate and violates individual property rights may argue that it falls under the category of "theft". On the other hand, those who believe that taxation is necessary for the provision of public goods and services may argue that it falls under the category of "extortion". Ultimately, it is up to individuals to form their own opinions on this issue based on their own values and beliefs.
