No. Theft is illegally taking something which belongs to someone else. As taxes are levied by governments, they are inherently legal provided that they don't violate more fundamental laws. (For example, in many countries a law requiring people of particular religions or races to pay tax at a higher level than others would be illegal). Further, taxpayers receive services in return for their taxes. The idea that 'taxation is theft' is an extreme libertarian slogan and makes as little sense as the slogan 'property is theft'.
Taxes are not considered theft because they are the means by which a government raises revenue to provide necessary services for its citizens, such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare. Taxes are legally required contributions that are used for the collective benefit of society and are enforceable by law.
In the United States, States have taxes on a number of items. Below is a list of taxes that States have created. Not all States have all the taxes listed: * personal income; * sales taxes; * corporate taxes; * gasoline taxes; and * property taxes.
Poll taxes historically affected marginalized groups such as African Americans and poor white Americans. These taxes were used as a tool to disenfranchise and discourage these groups from voting by requiring payment in order to participate in elections.
The poll taxes levied during the Peasants' Revolt in 1381 were intended to fund the Hundred Years' War between England and France. These taxes were particularly burdensome on the poor peasants who were already struggling with economic hardship. The revolt was triggered by the collection of these taxes, which ultimately led to a widespread uprising of peasants across England.
Direct taxes are levied directly on individuals or organizations and cannot be transferred to another party, such as income tax or property tax. Indirect taxes are imposed on goods and services and are ultimately paid by the consumer, like sales tax or value-added tax.
Poll taxes primarily affected African Americans in the southern United States during the Jim Crow era. These taxes were used as a means to disenfranchise and prevent African Americans from voting by requiring them to pay a fee in order to cast their vote.
