Some absolute realitys are...
A. Individual freedom is a human right.
B. Owning property is a human right.
C. Taxation or confiscation of property is theft if said action is taken by governmental systems that violate human rights.
So that qualifier in C. seems a little redundant to me, based on what you said in B. If I'm reading it correctly, what you're describing has been going on since the founding era, with the full blessing of the prevailing political opinions of the time.
