That's one way of looking at it. Another perspective is that you are likely enjoying the fruits of public projects funded by tax dollars. To benefit from tax dollars without contributing doesn't seem moral either. It's a difficult problem.

I can see how it could be taken that way, but without that stolen money, anything that the "public" wants, people would pay for voluntarily. (And if not, then by "democracy" taxes shouldn't be paying for it anyway.)
Bombs, drones, chemical weapons, politicians salaries, etc are all things that people would not pay for if not at the barrel of a gun.
And really, the only thing that matters is that theft is theft. If I rob/extort you, it doesn't matter what I'm going to do with the money, as the act itself is wrong no matter what.
