origination of stand and deliver. It is a hiwayman phrase. In essence it means stop and give me your goods. Like Jack Benny, we too often reply,”I’m thinking...........”
It assumes two choices, your money or your life. But there is another choice.

Sounds like it applies today to car jackers, toll booth collectors (and other bureaucrats like the IRS), and the politicians who introduce, co-sponsor, and vote for bills to increase the tax burden on the citizenry.
