I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.

His argument is that the property never really belonged to you - if this is the case, then the person/entity who owns that property should be able to do what they want with it, no? And one of the few uses of justified force in libertarianism is for protecting people from that

I don't mean this in a bad way, but you keep begging the question - you start by assuming it's "your money" Very unclear how you can justify ownership, especially of land/natural resources, in the first place. You can get the efficiency benefits of markets without property
