Wrong, because taxes are not theft, taxes are rent
People who oppose taxes are the whiny people I'm complaining about
Communists, the lot of them

> landlords don't coordinate with employers to take rent from wages
Some do. Ever hear of Section 8 housing? The fact that most landlords collect rent in a different manner does not change the fact that the government is a landlord who extracts "rent" (taxes) from everyone who lives on its land.
If the only difference between rent and taxes is "rent is voluntary," then it follows that taxes are the same thing as rent, except compulsory.
Rent is a charge on the use of something (such as a location) for a period of time
Human nature compels all of us to exist in places for periods of time. So the owners of those places have a natural right to charge us for the use of those spaces. That's why rent exists and is reasonable to pay if you are a tenant in someone's building, and it is also why taxes exist and are reasonable to pay if you are a resident in someone's country.
