Indeed. I have been long been sympathetic to your point that the moral argument for AC isn't very compelling. Some people do reject the notion that "taxation is theft"; I think Arfinn in a previous thread convincingly pointed out that one's moral stance, which I think can only be only internally subjective, will cause the rejection of many the arguments repeated by some proponents on this board.

Its not very compelling only because many ACists use inflammatory language. But when you get right down to it democracy is a majority rule. You arent allowed to disagree or you will be thrown in jail. What arguement can possibly justify the violent enforcement of positive rights? I have yet to hear one.
