Boyes describes a disconnect between self perception of preference (those who think they believe in a free market) and the response to the government.
A part of this disconnect can be explained by lack of knowledge - a finance professional is a technician, one who is versed in the use of systems. It seems clear that work in this environment might dull the appreciation for freedom and increase the appreciation of system.
But more than this, the disconnect reflects a lack of understanding of liberty, property and coercion. Like most, this finance professional has a profound misunderstanding of taxation. Like mandates, this intrusion into the private preference function of the individual, is the most glaring example of violation of individual liberty.
