There's a vast difference between a "we'll be taking 25% of your income each year" tax and a "we're taking 6% of your already taxed savings with immediate effect" tax. Taxes you know about in advance are more just than those enacted over a weekend with no time to prepare your household budget.
I'm not big into the "taxation is theft" rhetoric but I empathise with those who see certain forms of taxation that way.
