It is illogical. Taxation is theft. Even if the money stolen were used for good purposes, that does not overcome the immorality of the initial theft.
This is the same argument the Neocons use for Iraq. "We are using force there to make their lives better - therefore it is justified." The ends do not justify the means.

Why are you so against seizures of wealth, in the general sense, not related to any real government or anything. I would like to know.

Because I am against the initiation of force to achieve political goals.
