There is no reason to have elections if we want to tax people

The premise behind holding elections is that other people (the Government) have a right to violate our property if we do not deny (them) it. Unless we refuse, as a group, property will be stolen from each of us individually. If others do not reject (the) Government then neither are we able to. It might be nice of a thief to give us a chance to reject their offer but even if we do not choose to reject them, the crime remains. When we vote we do not correct the misapprehension in the mind of the criminal that they have a right to solicit this opinion on our property in the first place, that our property is of ambiguous ownership. The election makes no difference to the crime, or any aspect of morality.
