The government can imprison you, they can take your things and they can even kill you but they can't force you to do something. What they can do is incentivize and disincentivize behaviors. What they never seem to learn though is that disincentivizing bad behavior doesn't lead to good behavior, it leads to different behavior. If they want people to do something specific, they have to incentivize that thing.
