"Simple. When they steal, it’s theft."

And at what point does the collection of taxes levied by laws passed by fairly elected representatives of a free people, become theft?

Pretty much whenever such laws involve coercion to deprive an individual of his rightful property. The fact that a majority of citizens “fairly elect” representatives to enact laws which take property by force from its rightful owner does not give that taking moral justification.
