Taxes themselves are not theft, but the misuse of those taxes (such as waging purposeless war, refurbishing your gifted airplane emoluments, funneling money to a family member’s private business, putting public money into crypto scams, or vandalizing public monuments) is a kind of theft.

Oh for sure. And doesn’t the Bible say how it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven? We must confiscate the wealth of all those poor billionaires at once for the salvation of their souls!
