Forcing people to pay up at gunpoint is not very civilized. Sounds like theft to me.

enjoying the services everybody paid while not wanting to contribute is the actual theft.

Stealing from others to provide yourself with "services" is theft. I do not want the state to decide what services I need and then steal the amount they think is needed.

The vast majority of money stolen is wasted or used for evil, a tiny fraction goes to "services", which by the way are horrible.
