May I mug you, sir?

All taxation, you see, is organized theft.  Pure and simple.
Now, the Libertarian position is that all theft is morally
wrong.  This is purest horse manure; as I explained elsewhere,
it is often justifiable and necessary.

You raise the example of education - a fine one.  Education is
a public good; public goods cannot be financed by anything
other than forcible theft.  And because my education was
financed thus I have an obligation to so finance other peoples'.

But an artist whose work I do not buy has not helped me at all;
why must I be forced to give him what I produce?
