Your parent never advocated forcing anything. Democracy doesn't mean we have to like, agree with, or approve of what others do with their communities.

The Heinlein quoter is suggesting that taxation is theft, and it's immoral to force someone to pay for a public service if they personally don't want to.

I love this philosophy. If I don't want to have kids why should I have to pay for schools!

Carefully ignoring their own education, their desire to live in a functional society, their care and keeping when they get old etc.
