A guy hols a gun to your head, threatening to kill you and demanding money. You have a gun, you shoot the person. Then you find out his gun didn't have bullets. Do you feel like a monster?

“Luckily, of course, there is another way to pay for things. It is the same method we use to pay for most everything in life—voluntarily [...] Keep in mind, however, that all of these services are already being paid for by users, just in an involuntary, haphazard way in which there is little correlation between how much any given taxpayer pays for a particular service and how much use she gets out of it.”
