Source of "How Many Men" thought experiment

Can anyone point me to a source for the “How Many Men” thought experiment. I am trying to edit a wiki article on taxation as theft (which has been cut down to a stub), and the previous inclusions of the thought experiment were aparently cut due to lack of a source.

Thanks

Ok, I made some edits. I mostly used other peoples words and citations. I didn’t know exactly which philosophies oppose taxation as theft, - and of those which rely on NAP. Please check out the article and advise.
