Sam likes candy, and in the past, Sam has been very good at paying kids back for candy with a little bonus for doing so. Sam wants more candy, but Sam has lately been acting weird and unreliable, so no one wants to give them any because they aren’t as confident that they will get paid back. Sam is now offering to give back even more in the future than his usual amount in the hopes that someone will give him candy. Sam is still acting pretty sketch, and getting more sketch every day.
Then Sam needs to start resorting to force and/or threats of force to ensure his access to candy. Don’t bother stealing from the candy store, but beat up weaker kids and take their lunch money to buy candy, with the clear implication that any resistance in the future will lead to more extreme violence.

That’s just taxation. Which is something Sam really really hates. Easier to just borrow money forever. It’s risk free, after all.
No, taxation is beating up people he lives with. I’m suggesting force against those he doesn’t care about.
