Yes, in my favor economically but not ethically, it's going to be a struggle for you to understand this robbie, but I believe having a clear conscience is preferable to taking someones wealth from them just because they have more.

Can the burglar steal from those he respects?

another attempt to equate taxation and stealing, taxation is not illegal it is not stealing. You are arguing against your own interests and trying to justify doing so through an unsound moral argument. Do you think that apple, google, microsoft etc make a moral judgement when they appropriate profits, vast sums of money to offshore companies to avoid paying tax on products they have sold in the US, Europe and elsewhere? What is immoral about wanting them to pay a fair share of their profits as other businesses and individuals are forced to do? There is nothing immoral about it.
