To be able to choose means that we are wealthy

Without taxes we would be free to act on our preferences without interference; there would be free choice in all (peaceful) things.

There can be no better outcome than free choice since we do not know better than someone else what is good for them. Free choice is good for me and other people. For something to be good it must be chosen, if it is not chosen it is not chosen because it might be the wrong thing. The best thing to do is to leave peaceful people alone.

There is no reason to force people to pay taxes or do anything that they would prefer not to do.

Taxation is synonymous with coercion which reduces choice and is bad, by definition, things that are chosen are good. Wealth is defined by free choice and taxation reduces wealth.
