You don’t agree to pay it. You can’t opt out and if you don’t pay you get put in jail. How is this not theft?

    I think you could say though that a system so predisposed to corruption is itself flawed. “Taxation” as a feature is quite broad in that way, and I think to truly get to a good system you’d need people to be more involved in the scrutiny of govt expenses, and for the govt to play ball and give full reports about where the money is going and why.
