One's aims can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.

Taxation is robbery
Taxation is voluntary to the extent that people are unwilling to suffer the consequences of a tax revolt. There is little preventing a state from funding non-essential programs voluntarily as a trial run. However the power is still in the hands of the citizens. 1/2
