I'll say something slightly controversial:
I will start saying that all taxes are theft, at least in principle because there is no willingness into the taxpayers and obviously behind the "request" there is a threat of violence.
This said, we are at a point in Laffer's curve where the fiscal revenue is at a maximum but also the tax rate is at one of the highest in history (for us Italians). Services that a state should provided, are not provided in an acceptable manner, lacking both in quality and in coverage.
Something is gonna break soon.
I believe that if the fiscal pressure was lesser and the services better provided, people would pay taxes more willingly, even if it's a forced transaction.
But, in a Keynesian economy like the EU's where spending and debt are more important than guarantee a future to the citizens,this minarchic scheme cannot exist.
