I really think it would benefit libertarians to get away from this particular argument. It's applicable to everything. They're making me dispose of my trash in a receptacle at gunpoint! They're making me pick up my dog's poop at gunpoint! They're making me wear pants at gunpoint!
Of course, guns aren't involved unless things get bizarrely out of hand, but the same goes for paying taxes.
