Default What is the difference betwwen these two scenarios?

I take the view that taxation is nothing more than theft. Those that do not take this view argue that it is not theft because the property that is taken is used for my own benefit, as well as that of others. So what is the difference between these two scenarios from a moral standpoint?

Scenario 1) I'm forced to pay taxes against my will. The taxes are used for the benefit of the whole community.

Scenario 2) Someone breaks into my house and steals my bankroll. The money is donated to the local school for the benefit of the whole community.

Discuss. <font color="white">I'm pretty sure i know the answer I'm going to get, but this should be a good jumping off point for a discussion. </font>
