"It's not stealing, they're giving us the money willingly."
"So what happens if they don't pay their taxes?"
"Well we send them some stern letters, summon them to court, you know, all legal, humane stuff."
"But what if they still don't want to pay up to go to court?"
"This normally never happens, but we'd have to send some cops over to arrest them, maybe a SWAT team if things get bad, shoot them if they fight back. Very unfortunate when that happens."
"So how is this not coercion violence and theft?"
"Well it's all legal and standard procedure, so it can't possibly be."
