We have the same thing in Germany and the GEZ (the ones who visit you to check) had been around for some time. Because everyone hated it, every household has to pay 17.50€ p.m. now for state TV that nobody under the age of 50 watches.
I don't think all taxation is theft, but being forced to pay for bad TV is theft indeed.
All taxation is theft :) I haven't signed a contract which allows them to take my money. They do it anyway, and if I don't pay I'll go to jail. I can't chose NOT to use public services and not pay tax. One can argue in whatever way one want, pros and cons, but it is technically theft.
