The mindset of those using force as a means would be reflected in the ends. If ends and means are related, then unprovoked acts of violence against others could only beget violence. We reap as we sow. If we harm others, it will be reflected back to us. Those who are willing to use force to bend others to their will, will find themselves enslaved in turn.
Aggression becomes a lose-lose game, while respecting the rights of others makes everyone a winner.
The laws of a democratic country reflect the summation of each person's desire to control. If I want to control in one area, I will most likely grant you the right of control in another to gain your acceptance of my dominance. Thus, if I vote for a tax to help the poor, I have no moral or legal basis for preventing you from voting for a tax to bail out businesses. If I don't fight against you trying to spend my money, I lose. If I fight you, it consumes my resources and I lose.
