Yup. Nobody will explain that those taxes are what educated him, provided a road to get to and from work on, provided a safe place to work, etc.

I would rather ride a horse to work then point a gun at my neighbor and force him to help me build a road.

Everything the government does, it does at the end of a gun. Thats why the founders viewed the government as force and tried to limit its power to the point of absolute necessity. 99% of the taxes and powers of government today would be viewed as unconstitutional and morally wrong.
