Taxation IS greed.
It is literally the desire to extract money by force, justified by the arrogant belief that your chosen cause is "too important" to leave others free to choose. There is nothing more arrogant & greedy than believing you know better & can force others to serve your ends. It is people who think exactly like YOU who are the problem. Your argument demonstrates that you're the greedy control freak who wants to treat others like children.
You might believe it's security that is too important, others believe it's climate change or healthcare. You are all operating under the same belief that your values trump the property rights & freedom of everyone else.
