The difference is, I can choose to buy a startup's product, or I can not and watch them go bust with someone else's money. This is the government, they take your money by force and you are forced to "purchase" the "product". Because you have no choice, it would be amoral to treat the government like a startup and compel citizens to fund this "product".
