The government is the single most coercive entity making me work more to put food on the table. I work approximately 30% of my time to pay for services I don't want provided and mostly don't use.
If you want to talk about coercion, my employer gives me money for my services and I have the ability to walk away at any time. My government takes my money, and if I resist, they will put me in jail or kill me if I resist.
I am indeed at the mercy of the actions of others, but I am by far most helpless against the government.
