Serious question: is it still theft if you move in to a taxed geo knowing the situation in advance (assuming new taxes don’t emerge after)? What if gov provided you a one-way expatriation/relocation budget on your 18th bday/every time taxes change?

It’s theft unless you take the position that a group of people called “the government” owns all real property and everyone is just leasing or borrowing from them

I guess it depends on how the tax is levied -- income, sales, land, other. If you are opting in voluntarily, it's sort of like an HOA. At some point, it seems natural that people in a geo would want to pool resources for big projects, like military defense. How do you finance it?
