Which specific tax are you referring to? Most taxes make sense in the USA, income tax, sales tax, property tax and such are just payments for services.
However, I do agree that inheritance tax is theft. Also, how the USA considers winning prizes/cash from sweepstakes, game shows, lottery as a form of income so you don't actually win what was stated is also theft
