No, you're just rephrasing "the ends justifies the means", except the with added moral superiority of "I'm voting so that makes use of force ok". 'Voluntarily'

'Voluntarily' supporting mandatory laws misses the entire point: that individual acts matter and sacrifice for others matters.
Especially when voting for tax schemes that might cost you very little because they're sold as "only taxing those that can afford it" or "the 1%" or whatever.
