I really want to see what would happen if the "taxes are theft" crowd actually lived in a society without taxes.

I suspect they'd go maybe a couple months before they were like "hey we should pool money together to fix the potholes in the roads". And eventually they're going to form something that looks a hell of a lot like a government, and they're going to have to collect something that looks a hell of a lot like taxes. And then give it a couple of generations and you'll have a brand new bunch of human house cats crying "taxation is theft".

Which is why the only practical thing to do with libertarians is to ignore them.
