Oh, so now you want to force me to buy insurance?! What about my liberty?!

Just kidding. :-)

But seriously, my question still stands: If it's not right for me to take your money by force and spend it on public goods (i.e. national defense, etc.), how is it right for the government to do so?

It’s not and I said so. No one is FORCING you to buy insurance (except your mortgage company). But that was offered as an example of how government can be funded non-coercively. I’m sure there are others, but since I have to go get my wife from work, that’ll have to wait.
