Sure, you can question the government, and that is great. I encourage you to do so. Obviously not everything they say is a lie. They tell the truth plenty. Governments and states doing bad things is not an argument against taxes in general, because they don’t have to be bad and do bad things.
Saying “everything the state has it has stolen” is also not true. Taxes are not theft. It is an exchange. You get goods and services in exchange for your taxes. An exchange is not theft. You can debate the terms of the exchange, but it is not theft.
