Although "one should convince people to do X instead of using the law to
force them to do X" was my the structure of my argument, it wasn't my
argument.  My argument was that one should not use the force of law to
take money out of other people's pocket for their own benefit.  If you
want a general argument then I can make one: people should use the force
of law to benefit society, not just themselves.
