Thats a straw man, the old hostage taker guilt trip. Is using force to
stop people from using force wrong or hypocritical? That is the whole
principle of self defense. Eliminating programs that depend upon the
involuntary confiscation of private property to exist is not wrong.
I want a new Lamborghini. I think the government should provide me with
one. If you prevent me from making the government give me one, paid for
from money confiscated from you, then are you wrong to do so? I don't
think so.
