ZDAD: I hope those who claim its an averiah to pay taxes also dont do the following, you are STEALING if you dont pay)

If you are referring to me, my posek never said its an aveirah to pay taxes. The question is whether dina demalchusa dina applies to a secular Jewish government or not. If dina demalchusa doesn’t apply, since the government sponsors both avoda azara and chillul shabbos, it is better to not pay taxes towards those things if possible. Also, if I’m not chayav to pay taxes from halacha, I am not stealing if the gov wants to offer me services for free. Actually, I don’t have a choice of paying other police instead; last I checked the police have a monopoly.

Additionally, according to your logic, tourists are stealing if they call the cops because they don’t pay local taxes.
