There's a moral difference between giving someone your things for free and being forced to give up your things, we all learned that as children. Somehow, modern politics has flipped the general populations emotional response to these acts. You're a 'good person' if you advocate for involuntary action like theft, and you're a 'bad' person if you act for voluntary action like charity.
Here's the most overt example I could find.
A large amount of Reddit thinks it is hypocritical to ask for charity instead of demanding theft. Forget the person involved in this story, this line of thinking isn't partisan.
I'm bringing this up because I think it's a pressure point, where real conversation begins and ends. Forget healthcare, the state, etc.... how do you feel about charity? And why do you feel this way? Every ideology understand the need for consent when it protects their interests (guns, drugs, certain types of employment, abortion, etc.) and it's not just the critique for unnecessary taxations that make people uncomfortable, it's the positive association with charity.
People are very concerned on an emotional level that you couldn't force someone to give you goods and services. If you've ever asked yourself 'why are some younger Americans becoming leftists', this is one of many contributors. I believe this is a fundamental road block to Libertarian thought; if people aren't able to shift this line of thinking there's no way they can sympathize with our political outlook.
