And while you're doing that, take pleasure in the fact that society gave you the ability to communicate your irrational thoughts with language, the written word, hell... add in the basics of clean drinking water and the luxury of an easy and hygienic disposal of your excrement. (that you don't send here, instead)
Without society you would have nothing and be nothing. Taxation allows for that to continue. Even for the little children who have their tantrums and yell "mine! mine! mine!", wanting to take everything without giving anything in return.
If taxation is theft, then the benefits that you achieve (from better people than you) is also theft. To say that it is anything else is to eschew any idea of rationality, so stop claiming rationality as a virtue.
