Public Goods

I could, but I wouldn't.

I recognize a difference between government activities that are necessary and sufficient to protect our liberty in ways that require force vs. engaging in all other imaginable activities that purport to provide public goods.

I can see an argument for requiring people to support (financially) the former activity to some extent (although I'd like to move away from this involuntary support as soon as possible) but I can't see any such moral argument for the latter.
