taxation is not theft

it's a civic duty; also you are responsible as a citizen to make sure that your tax obligations are used [fiscally] responsibly.

Tax is a coerced contribution to state and federal revenues. Coercion is force. Contribution is a payment. So a tax is a forced payment for services you may or may not use. Theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it. Therefore, taxation is theft.

Because USF won, taxation is not theft.

Also, since you benefit from tax revenue (services, defense, protections, etc...); then it is not 'theft'. And there is nothing that you can do about it. Nothing, other than ensuring that tax revenue is used responsibly. Income taxes will NEVER go away. Ever.
