One is something you choose to pay, the other you get shot if you don't pay.

Contract claims and property claims are ultimately enforceable by government force, as well. A "no trespassing" or "no loitering" sign, or a "Copyrighted work, all rights reserved" notice is enforceable by men with guns, too.

If taxation is theft, the same reasoning would extend to property being theft, too.

Depends how the property was claimed. Most property in the US was illegitimately claimed.
