I suppose this gets to what one's view of government (and its use of taxes) should be:
Should the government exist to provide certain services to its citizens, and collect only the sums necessary to provide such services?
Or should the government also exist to shape and mold its citizens in a way that certain (potentially conflicting) interests deem proper and correct, and structure its tax collection methods in such a way to accomplish those goals?
