This can only be accurate for people who want literally $0 to be taken for taxes, in any form, by any level of government... and yet still expect services to be rendered.

I don't know anyone like that, and I suspect they're in a tiny minority.

For my part, I'd consider those taxes to be theft when they are used for purposes other than a strict list of constitutionally mandated purposes. The other things are services I want to neither pay for nor receive.

Some examples: unemployment (ahem, now "Reemployment") tax, social security tax, welfare, domestic spying operations, Medicare/Medicaid, public education, the Affordable Care Act, much of our military spending, corporate bailouts, lots of alphabet agencies' budgets, etc.

Note that it's not freeloading; I don't want anyone to have them paid and/or provided for by government, including myself.

Many, many things exist in the world that don't exist in the constitution; it's a foundational body of law, not the entirety of the law.

As for not wanting something, but still being obligated to pay for it, there many transactions in the world where you have to pay for more than you want; no automaker will sell you a brand-new car with all of the seats missing, and very often when you go to a restaurant, even if you ask for some ingredient to be left out, you still pay full price for the meal.

That some of your taxes go to things you don't like does not mean you are free from paying for them.

The route to changing what your taxes go to is the political arena, not merely claiming that, because you don't like it, they're "theft".

The tax argument aside - my understanding is if the constitution doesn't provide for it, the federal government shouldn't be doing it.

10th amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
