These are just options, nothing definitive.

The government provides its people with many more services (firefighters, police, roads, etc.) than the right to vote or run for office. If you want we could get into a discussion of whether these services are better off privately run, but the fact is that they are currently run by the government and we need those services
Also, I don't think a surcharge on twinkies counts as government coercion or discrimination.
