You believe in theft.

You believe in getting other people money in a forced manner and put in what YOU believe is better.

No, I don't make the decision on what to spend it on, the democratically elected legislature does. And if money is misspent, take it up with your elected officials.

Do you honestly believe that taxation is theft? It's existed as a fundamental requirement of civilization for millennia.

Utopian libertarianism is utterly unrealistic. For a philosophy that is wholly meritocratic, you would think the fact that no civilization adopted it as a fundamental principle would make it obvious how infeasible the concept is.
