I think this is a good of example of why Scott Adams says this about analogies:
Analogies: Analogies are good tools for explaining a concept to someone for the first time. But because analogies are imperfect they are the worst way to persuade. All discussions that involve analogies devolve into arguments about the quality of the analogy, not the underlying situation.
That's not an uncommon belief - feel free to write an extra check to your tax department and they will happily accept it. Normally tax departments have a whole system set up to accept voluntary additional tax payments for anyone who feels inclined to top up their contribution to the wellbeing of the state.
